WTD Winch drum plastic bush

[drive it ...]

Anyone got a stuffed old winch I can beg, buy or beer swap parts off. I've got an old GEW10000 cheapie that I just pulled down for some TLC. The plastic bush from one end of the drum is torn up. Its 63mm ID, 66.5 OD, 12mm wide, 5mm lip. Don't know if that's a standard size or a one off.
I tried a couple of bearing shops. One web site thought it might have been a warn copy, went through some parts books in Fully Equiped but nothing had sizes and they had no stock to compare. Eng Plastics or Mulford Plastic can spin one up for $100 which is ouch for a $3 bit of plastic but worth it to save a $500 winch I guess.
Suggestions?

what about a brass bush turn down to suit. will last a heap better than plastic

If it is a Runva winch, Mike at www.winch.co.nz should be able to source it as a Runva spare part.

Not always, depends on the plastic and the lubrication, there are a number of very good bearing "plastics" that will perform better than brass especially if the lubrication is marginal.

If Runva can't help i could do one in Vesconite. Will be a little bit more than $3 though.

Its not this is it


Measures 63mm there abouts internally.. about 65 externally

Bingo - that's the part. Mines a 10000 not 9000 but looks same, probably just diff gears.
You're in QT right? Coming up to Chch anytime soon?
PM me what you want for it, might get you to post up the bush and we'll sort out catching up on the heavy bit somewhere.
