I've been trying to find a good brake setup for my winch, i've tried searching but no one has a good answer. I've got an extra hub adapter laying around so i thought I'd put it to some use. Anyone kno of a good brake setup that they'd recommend?

what do you use the brake for really? if i had one i'm sure i'd love it, but just cuttin the engine and gas seems to work fine for me.

Yeah, if you have a tav there is not much over run when you cut the gas off, i don't have one on my winch or think i need one. If you have a CC you may need a brake.

Something like this is all you need if you want a brake.

no break for me either, and on the next winch i build, it will also be breakless.

putting a break on my winch was one of the best things i ever did. It has saved a lot of nubbie winch drivers from big problems. Ill post pics on my when i get home next week.

paulmc, I'm kinda look for a brake system that involves a disk setup, something similar to pulldozer's brake.

EJazzle, thanks bro.

miller, I'm not a fan of Princess Auto. I find they only have the most basic things, with terrible quality. I'm looking for something that's a little more advanced, stylish and something that's going to last.

paulmc, haha. thanks that's one that im considering.

http://www.gokartsupply.com/discbr.htm Does anyone have this kinda brake system? any good?

to me the only thing the break is good for is in tight situations. other than that,.......let it rip.... Birthday

If you want a brake setup just order a mechanical caliper,rotor,pads and a caliper mount. Then get yourself a brake lever and cable from a mountian bike. And build from there.

I've never used a brake either (I have a brake kit just not installed) but it would probably come in handy in an emergency situation but who thinks that far ahead anyway Wink

I'm definitely adding a brake to my next winch. All these tight situations.

Old brake of a small motorscooter....works perfect!

Front brakes from a pit bike works good, you can usually find them on ebay for cheap. As far as the disc goes you can get a cheap go cart style one that will work fine.
