54bobby Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 does anyone have the hardware for mounting the spare tire? new to manche's here and it looks like they are on a cable system and my cable is broke. looking for the whole set up if u got one.
64 Cheyenne Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 don't throw the old one away.... Take it apart and replace the cable....seen a write-up somewhere.
jimoshel Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 :agree: I've done it twice. If you don't have the equipment for swaging the fitting then take it to a shop. It's still cheaper than buying one. Or if you really want $45 shipped. And it'll be rusty.

jimoshel Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Go to Google search. Type in Steel cable swage. and/or steel cable repair. You'll get enough results to keep you reading the whole week end. Basically it is using a steel ring slipped over the cable and squeezed with many tons of pressure. There are sleeves that will accept the cable twice, that is you slide the sleeve, or ferrule, over the cable. Then slide the end of the cable into it. Squeeze. You now have a loop. Take a end fitting, looks like a fishing weight. Crimp it on the end of the cable. You now have a stop. I've got a couple winches in the shop that needs fixed. I'm going to try and get to them today. Stay tuned.

fiatslug87 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 The actual winch is the same but the SWB has an extra bracket and the LWB one has a longer tube.
