<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If you have the same original winches
that I had (Flat handle type, that goes through the top plate horizontally), it
won't work. You must have the type where the drum body goes all the way to
the top and the handle (usually) goes into a socket in the top center. (like
current winches have).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then they sort of work OK. Real self tailers work
much better.</FONT></DIV>
