Is there a way to reverse the motor?

I used a 30amp relay with built in fuse. The wiring is pretty straight forward. The white wire on the winch doesn't get used. I'll hook out my diagram for connections and post it up

The clue is in the post     it would be for reeling out the winch

Figured out how to reverse the motor..

But snapped the chain...
It's my reel.  The sprocket is not on straight. 
Does anyone now a good reel that I can bolt the sprocket onto?

I have successfully put an electric motor to a claber reel and a petal type reel.

I give up with my hose reel... It's just never going to take a sprocket.. I've been messing around for 4 hours and realised it just won't work...

Does anyone know of a metal reel that priced ok and will fit a sprocket... Please...

I have another car battery in back of van linked to my main battery. If i built I could sell for £300 Inc vat an delivery. But I may just get the fixings manafacturerd . Either way I'll put full instructions with video on line. It's simple to make . Those motors are really tough and last year's. If they did need replacing what's £23?

where is the full instructions with video!

I sorted it all out.  Today was my first day working with a electric reel... I shortened the chain and moved the motor closer so it doesn't wobble and fall off.  1 hickup this morning but after 10 minutes of fiddling I carried on working.  Well chuffed..
