Hi Mate,

It's a hand operated thing (must've been slow!!!) but I think the one in the photo is missing past of the handle as we see it in the photo. The details I have show the handle is meant to be 'locked' in to that bracket next to the ARN on the mudguard when not in use.

It'd be great to find someone with a jeep still on it- got close last year ahem I saw a jeep on display, but it was a much smaller Dawn winch fitted, not the official mod. My guess though is that like most things the aussie army did to jeeps, restorers have undone them thinking that it was cocky mod or that their jeep must be a US army one and ignoring its true history!

Dawn is still in business, I must contact them and see what they know!

Thanks Tony,
Ian.
