Titanium vs Aluminum fairlead question/openion

[rdn2blazer]

I'm going to use winch rope for my winch and ofcourse need to use an Aluminum Fairlead. My question is would there be any reason why I could not use a Titanium Fairlead just like the Aluminum ones. Would have the same large radiused edge for the rope to slide on. I would probably even polish the radius for a smoother finish. Feedback please.

Except for the cost (unless your making it yourself) the Titanium one will last longer than a Aluminum one for sure.

No cost, it's going to be free

Then by all mean do it, you know as well as I do that alum is softer than titanium and will start wearing a groove in it no matter what the line your using is.

Surprised you're not making one out of krypton or depleted uranium or something ... titanium is so blase'. Braggart.

For the REST of us that don't work at a hyper-bling machine shop, there are hawse fairleads made from UHMPE as well ... the acronym spells "cutting board", btw. Safe for synthetics, sturdy as all get out, and a lot cheaper than titanium for most of us.
