Winch Square nuts

[UBZ]

I have just picked up a Superwich x9 for the 110
Unfortunately it didn't come with the square nuts and mounting bolts

Can anyone tell me where I can source some rated square nuts / mounting bolts that are the correct size and fit for purpose ? General bolt supplier gave me a blank look

Cheers Chris

Any good engeneering shop shouls have something like that in stock, when i did mine a while ago i just got them online from a superwinch part dealer. They wernt too dare

I guess you mean captive nuts... my first port of call would be Steelmasters (kiwi made) and failing that any engineering shop.

only reason they are square is to stop them turning.

ive welded a bit of flat bar to a std nut previously and that locked it in, worked mint

Back up the boat. You scored another 110? Awesome.
I hope you managed to hold onto the fruity bits off your old girl?

I am in the same boat s you re the winch nuts, if I can source some from engineers up here I'll let you know, unless you beat me to finding some.
What size/pitch bolts are you using?

I've got some in a bag somewhere off the 8074 I had .... will try and find them

I usually wedge a screw driver in to stop them moving, while using the rattle gun

Ditto. Just use a screwdriver on normal nuts as well, my square ones went a while ago.
