Antares 760 thread

I promised I would get back to you guys about LR winch parts. Well, I’ve now got all the bits and have been examining it all. The switches are possibly done for, but the pinion is sound and smooth. The motor however was nearly solid, just a bit of shaft movement with a spanner. By chance my son came around while I was cleaning and thought the motor probably had either magnet or brush dislocated, and suggested I take it to the auto electrical company he started working life with.
Examination has determined all eight magnets have come away. The brushes are like new and the rest easily repairable. So its going to be £280 plus vat to do. Which now sounds much better then the £1805 recently quoted for a currently non existent Quick Heckter 700w. Or non existent Razza at a bit less.
Its been suggested I blank the switches off and use a wireless remote?

Did you check if Quick Hector would fit without additional cutting of GRP ?

The guy who took the Leroy unit off etc. obtained a deck fitting guide for the Quick. It would fit without cutting any grp, but one fixing bolt would require a narrow steel strip inserted to align it centrally. That would be invisible and, in his view, be the least modification required of any alternative windlass.

Can't really imagine... :-(
