Even with shipping costs added to a bill that might run over twice your cost, that is a really preferable alternative to the great RIGGING ONLY price for new Harkens which is the best that I have seen by just over $100/pair. Thanks for both replies. I will definitely end up pursuing one of your courses of action.
i used frederick machine repair inc in buffalo ny 716-892-1425 this was several years ago. i think if you get a set of drawings from the australian winch co and take the winches to any shop that is local you will be able to explain the problem and what needs to be done -remember most of the guys have never seen a winch so you will have a little bit of explaining to do. by the way dont tell them how much they are worth beacuse the price of the repair may go up.
