Anybody know where I can get the proper manual for the Mayflower capstan winch, A search around the internet tonight didn't produce one, even for sale.
The one for the similar Aeroparts one I found and have downloaded but the specific one for the MAP/Fairey one does not seem to be available anywhere.
Anybody know of one?

There are reprints of various manuals on eBay from time to time. Might be worth a look occasionally if you aren’t doing so already.

I have found parts of a badly copied manual so far. Generally manuals on ebay tend to be wide boys selling the free version they have found somewhere and chancing their arm.
While a physical copy would be nice an e-copy is fine for my needs.

I kept searching and eventually found a manual, albeit 8 separate pages. Its really just for part numbers etc when the winch arrives to rebuild it and the fitting instruction to eventually fit it to the 109.
I think I have what I need now and now just need to courier to deliver it.....
