Looks great ! I want it now :D:D take 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.

What does it look like with the bumper on? Any options to add recovery points to it?

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 :D, I think I might have been a bit "agressive" with the lightening slots so may not be able to fit them to this prototype :eek:
 
After fitting & testing I'm going to get 6 - 10 made depending on interest, they wont be cheap though, its quite a complex fabrication,

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.
 
Took a picture on the way into work this morning (sorry about the mist but thats the great British summer for you!)
