Hi Mike,

Its a copy of the original winch mount modified to take a modern winch mounting pattern.

Thanks it does look better everytime I bolt something on, but its not happening often enough at the moment, going to try and have a good bash the bank holiday weekend.

Finally got the bus together and MOT’d , I didn’t even get any advisories; always a bonus. :D

Anyway a couple of pictures to date. All legal and will be at Vanfest (albeit with no interior).

The winch is only temporary fitted to get all the bolts right and position the battery, hence the rope not coming through the hawse.

Yep it looks good, be interesting to fit the whinch lower in the middle and make the bumper in 2 halves , either side, would look quite good if done properly, but as ive no syncro nor need for a winch I will have to wait while somebody asks me to do it for them :D then I can have a play
