Spent the day redoing the line tension system. I put it all together and hooked the trailer up to the truck to drag it home and found out that the gage I had made was too high to see out the rear view mirror. Slight over sight. Here are some pictures finally.
Here's the brake disc mounted to a sprocket and painted
This is the heart of the line tension system. It pivots on the right. A rod extends up to the gage on the back side of the pulley. The springs try and hold it down. The cable is there for a positive stop if a spring breaks.
The disc and caliper mounted on the winch.
Here's the motor, belted from a centrifugal clutch to a 10" pulley on a jack shaft. then from a 4" pulley up to a 16" on the reel.
Here's a shot from the back showing the teflon fair lead.
