Where did you source that replacement hand winch? You got any more? You gonna add any more studs to hold that tire on or do you think that one stud is "good enough"?

I'm not sure what they are intended for but I bought several of them off of Egay over the years. They come wit the 90 degree arm and the pivot swing.

The one stud is fine in my opinion since it only holds the tire and wheel assembly on to a pilot hole plate that actually supports the weight of the spare by acting like a hub.
I know that this 500#+ spare tire assembly could really reak havoc on a PCC (Pesky Commuter Car)...lol, if accidently launched of it's stowage location on the side of my M916 at highway speeds. Therefore I leave the hoist hooked up at all times as a additional safety precaution.[thumbzup]
