yeppers. Mostly the Superwinch is unique, and some mount at the base AND at the top of the side rollers.
I have several fairleads, all new or near new.

Boy, I was thinking that there were not too many sizes ... like atv and "full" size. I am looking for one for a m12000 that will line up on an ARB TLC bumper. Is that enough info? does not have to be pristine, just decent shape where the rollers will roll and are relatively smooth.

Those are rare anymore. I have the new fairlead that comes with the Husky (I have a Husky 10). It is a bit different - thicker rollers.
I need to look at the specs on a typical 3/8" rope, but there is a recommended minimum radius (bend). That is likely the reason for the new, larger diameter roller. Or, it could have nothing to do with that, and is just cheaper for Superwinch to use the same dia. roller material for all winches. . .
So that is just speculation at this point however, unless we want to dig into it a bit - any takers?
Loss of strength of 3/8" dyneema on a radius? What is the safe minimum radius?

Not to meddle, muddle or confuse, but I have the roller fairlead off my Superwinch EPi9.0, just sitting around.

Considering the point of the thread was to seek a roller fairlead, your post is right on target. I conversed by email with Scott today and he has one being shipped to me. Thanks Scott!
I appreciate your offer. Perhaps someone else needs the Superwinch one?
