The cheapest one...as long as its an aluminum fairlead. They all do the same thing. I picked a smittybuilt that usually goes for about $50 on a popular auction site for around $20.

As a manufacturer if you can mess up a hawse fairlead, you've got bigger issues...

The smartass in me wants to reply with "paint". Mask the area where the rope is going to rub the fairlead and rattle can the rest.

Guess i walked right into that one.... wasn't sure if there was some special stuff for these things, or if getting it anodized was better like it was originally.
