FACTOR 55 SHORT DRUM COMP FAIRLEAD 1.0 (1.0 " THICK) 00017

The Short Drum Comp Fairlead is used by the top competitors in the ULTRA4 Racing circuit and by professional rock crawlers around the world. This 1.0" thick fairlead is CNC machined from 1 inch thick USA 6000 series aluminum bar and is ultra lightweight from having maximum material removed and yet extremely rigid to handle front end impacts.. The industry standard fairlead thickness is .75 inches thick. The thicker, Factor 55 aluminum bar results in a larger outer fillet radius for the synthetic rope to slide against. This results in less stress on the rope fibers during high angular pulls, increasing the life of your expensive synthetic rope. The Short Drum Comp Fairlead is the industry?s first Hawse fairlead compatible with the larger ? inch diameter rope tube thimbles. The rope slot height opening is taller to allow the larger ? inch thimbles to pass through. There is also a machined outer corner chamfer to reduce rope stress for those that plan on using the winch as a front suspension ?suck down? device. These fairleads come in a durable MIL-A8625F TYPE III gun metal gray hard anodized finish with a machined logo.
