Factor 55 Short Drum Comp Fairlead 1.0 (1.0 ” Thick)
- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Factor 55 introduces a new line of Aluminum Short Drum Competition Hawse fairleads. This 1.0″ thick fairlead is CNC machined from 1 inch thick USA 6000 series aluminum bar. The industry standard fairlead thickness is .75 inches thick. The thicker, Factor 55 aluminum bar results in a larger outer fillet radius for the synthetic rope to slide against. This results in less stress on the rope fibers during high angular pulls, increasing the life of your expensive synthetic rope. The Short Drum Comp Fairlead is the industry’s first Hawse fairlead compatible with the larger ½ inch diameter rope tube thimbles. The rope slot height opening is taller to allow the larger ½ inch thimbles to pass through. There is also a machined outer corner chamfer to reduce rope stress for those that plan on using the winch as a front suspension “suck down” device. These fairleads come in a durable MIL-A8625F TYPE III gun metal gray hard anodized finish with a machined logo. The Short Drum Comp Fairlead is used by the top competitors in the ULTRA4 Racing circuit and by professional rock crawlers around the world. The Short Drum Comp Fairlead is ultra lightweight from having maximum material removed and yet extremely rigid to handle front end impacts. For synthetic winch rope only. Warning – Always confirm that the synthetic rope cannot make contact to any sharp edges like the opening the steel fairlead mounting plate or bumper opening. In some cases it may be required to grind this slot larger. Always sand and deburr this opening after any grinding operation. ***FOR SHORT DRUM WINCHES ONLY*** Standard 10″ Bolt Mount Spacing MADE IN THE USA 0/5 (0 Reviews)
CD - THE BELFAST SESSIONS
This, our latest collection of songs, was recorded at RedBox Studios in Belfast. We’ve wanted to record there for awhile now and finally the timing was right for all. Dónal O’Connor one of the owners, produced it with expertise, poise, patience and not a few threats, the main one being “no more Guinness till youse get this track right.” Inspirational words indeed! He was somehow able to corral us and steer us in the right direction on each song. I’m sure he’d love to work with us again – maybe! We had a great time all together recording there, and hopefully dear fans you’ll enjoy listening. In these uncertain times remember, music hath charms to soothe a savage breast. I think that was a quote from Paul McCartney, or possibly Bob Dylan. Enjoy!
