Yeah it flexed big. Fortunately all of the impact was on the bottom edge of the right hand winch cable roller. The bar is better aligned now than it was before. If you see the bar on-line it has recovery loops integrated that project forward either side of the fairlead which would make for a pull forward rather than forward and down. So don't know why this is different with the holes for the hooks. Anyway if my engineer mate can come up with a solution I'll post up some pics.
Thanks for taking the interest.
