I am working on making new repro fairleads for the 8A/8G Gearmatic winches. Saw the first flame cuts yesterday, ordered some small changes, but on the whole they were fine. I am going to try and make 6 first go-around, about half of them are already spoken for. If you are interested in one, let me know, I will try and get more parts made up if there is a demand.
They will be as close to original as I can make them. The only thing I am thinking of changing is not using bushings in the rollers, I am going to use sealed bearings. They can have 2, 3 or 4 rollers, depending on what you prefer.

fairleads and gearmatic winch parts
Lavoy:
Did you ever manufacture the 8a/g fairleads? If so, can you email me a price for a three roll version (sides and top) - any pictures? I'm also in the market for a couple of "U" cups in case mine ever tear or leak. Thanks. Paul
