Default needing new aluminum hawse winch fairleads

I’m switching over to a synthetic winch rope and needing to change my steel hawse to an aluminum one.
Anyone got weblinks to some quality 10” hawse fairleads? They don’t have to be fancy or have the Brand name stamped on it.
Thanks!

I was going to recommend just that brand lol

Yup but it is really nice equipment. It earned it’s keep at Rovers at Wintergreen last weekend. It will prove its worth again I bet at the Red Clay Rally.

I never thought I would see that rally mentioned here for some reason. I've been a checkpoint person for the last 2 years.

I like the videos as well. I like the quality of the product and supporting a company that is making a great product right here in the USA. I am guilty of it to with buying whatever I can find cheap on Amazon or eBay but I am trying a new idea for me of buying local/american when I can. Like with my Warn winch I basically rebuilt that thing but now it works perfect and I learned a lot. I also know that I can basically repair, or replace any part that thing needs. I’m still into that Warn for less than a badlands winch so I feel really good about it.

Also I know it’s a few more bucks but is your recovery gear something to go really cheap on? Let’s be honest when you need recovery gear you usually really need it lol
