Measurements help needed from someone with a discreet winch
I am considering designing (and having built) a removable winch receiver (trying to progress an idea I had a while ago...).
I need some measurements to help the design - so could someone with a discreet/hidden winch mount possibly poke a tape measure in the front of theirs.
I am after:
- distance from the back plate (ie back of winch tray) to level with front bumper (ie flush with exit hole for winch in the bumper)
- distance from front plate (ie front of tray) to same spot level with front bumper
No rush - only when you are passing with a tape measure!
yes i have had a look at this for a few people the first measurement is10/3/4" the second is 2/3/4" or there abouts the only thing is how will you get you hand in to pin the removable mountHome of RLD Hidden winch mounts Spare wheel Locks Trailer Body Fabrication ray@rld-tech.co.uk D3/4 sump plates MY 14 sump plates and the Discovery Sport wheel protectors Discovery 5 wheel locks

Ray - thanks.
Ref inserting pin, I am thinking of a slot slightly smaller than the size of a standard number plate/holder,
That way should have width and finger room to insert pin and r clip to secure.
Number plate can be held on by turn clip fasterners or similar.
We spoke about this a while ago - do you have any free time to knock one up?!!
Will have a look at a D3 and see what there is it will have to pass though the steel bumper that is already in there it you would only have 2 /3/4" to play with but yes i cant see not being done Home of RLD Hidden winch mounts Spare wheel Locks Trailer Body Fabrication ray@rld-tech.co.uk D3/4 sump plates MY 14 sump plates and the Discovery Sport wheel protectors Discovery 5 wheel locks
