Looks great ! I want it nowtake my money
Its heavy?
Managed to get the weight down with the cutouts, havent weighed it yet but will do, didn't notice any big drop in the front end when I dropped the winch in but will have a measure up when I fit it finally after painting. The "production" ones will be lighter, this one is 6mm plate but 4 or 5mm would be strong enough with not quite so many cutouts. The fab shop is going to give me a price on knocking out 6 of them but won't go ahead until I've tested it on a Disco or Defender lol

Cool, but cutoust are good I think. All water and mud can just flow out from it - less rust.
Wondering about fixing points for A-bar. As i see on photos mouting holes in stock bumper are in the same places where new bumper is attached, so a little fabrication should give a good mounting point.

Going to paint it before mounting it permanently & refitting the bumper Dunc, I'm going to look at fitting a couple of those swivel type recovery points that Paul has on his Disco, of course his have been used so often they are worn out
, I think I might have been a bit "agressive" with the lightening slots so may not be able to fit them to this prototype

After fitting & testing I'm going to get 6 - 10 made depending on interest, they wont be cheap though, its quite a complex fabrication,

Float Switch | eBay
£2 off eBay or £18 from maplins!
Wow epic. We use thousands of those on monitors all over the country

I'd be interested in seeing if I can get you a better price through my trade contacts once you get a design tested and fully functional.
