Ok, we kicked off again on Sat with the plan to get all the fab work completed by Sunday.
We had to take the bar off again ( a lot easier now) and grind all the welds off - I went overboard las week and what a buggar to grind them all back.
Once that was done, we started on the winch mounting plate
First we cut it so it would sit flush in the bar, with the fairlead butting the bar.
The with a fair bit of head scratching, we cut the slots to locate the winch plate, then trial fitted the winch, checking clearances.
