Got loads dash cam but will take time to process that before I post on YouTube.

My new Dyneema well that is something else, we put it to extreme test today and it came through with flying colours, it is 36 mtrs long 9mm diameter with an 8200Kg breaking load and fits on the drum with room to spare, as well as being sheathed throughout it's entire length, making it virtually impenetrable by dirt, and after being in the crap all day just washed off with just a hose down, the only down side it is almost twice the price of regular rope but so far I am more than happy, and I might add the guy on one pull did not position the rope on a block correctly and as I started the pull it jammed between pulley and side plate, I thought it has to be damaged, it was so jammed it took tools to twist the side plates open to release it, and wait for it, no damage at all, so this is the rope for me no question, Rick
That's some good feedback/info of the rope Rick, I think mine is 10mm with only a couple of meters sheathed, sounds like your sheathing did it's job!!
Apparently they are quite easy to splice back together if they snap, can do it with a biro pen
