Would love a capstan, and thinking about getting one for my Series 3.
Have been looking at fitting them, any major problems you come across when fitting?
Have heard that you need rivet nuts to hold the back of the winch plate to the front crossmember?
Also, think im going to make the Capstan drive dog, for my Crankshaft, by buying another standard one, then attacking it with the grinder, to remove the starting handle slots. Then just grinding in two slots for the winch prop shaft to go into.
But after looking at other posts looks like its going to be a pain to get the old starter dog off?
Anybody know what size socket I'll need? Have read its around 44m, or 1-11/16" (so pretty huge!)
Thanks
