The Dyneema 75 seems to be the most popular one I have seen around, available from Tigerz11 retailers, ie, DBOR

As long as you stick to the name brands (Dynamica, Plasma, Tigerz etc ) and make sure it's SK60 or SK75 you'll be ok. if in doubt ask for a QA or test certificate for it

I am about to list a Smittybilt Winch Rope, it is made from Dyneema SK75, and is 10,000lb rated.
Would that be on the "approved" list?

Smittybuilt source their winch rope in China.
Same as they source their winches and have most of their barwork made there (here for me)

Is that OK or not?

Where in Oz is plasma rope made?

Most places source their barwork in Asia, ARB, TJM, Ironman to name a few locals.
