    I used to have those winches on an old transcrack. But I had a different problem the winches out lasted that pos trailer. At least you have a quality trailer that doesn't go to crap before the winches. lol

    Yea, that is definately different from a double L, no way they would interchange. I'd call Fontaine Parts Source on Monday and see what their price is and compare that to the dealer's price.

    I've never been able to find these from any other source than a Fontaine dealer or authorized Fontaine parts seller.

    Tennessee Trailer Sales in Nashville should have some. They have pretty good prices. Hard to beat. I never thought I'd buy as much stuff from them as I do.

    They are made by ANCRA, but only released through Fontaine.
    Just went through all this, this morning, with a customer of mine.
