Re: horizon express windlass slipping

When mine slipped, I tore it down and had a machine shop re-knurl the concave cone so that the clutch would bite. I had to do this after all of the clutch adjustment had been "used up". This repair lasted for many years.

Good luck,

Does anyone have an old simpson lawrence windlass they want to sell? Does not need to work. I only need a second compound gear.

Doesn't it have a big nut on the right side that you can turn to tighten the clutch?
