Hi Guys (and Gals),

This may be a bit basic, but please bear with me as I am totally new to the Land Rover world....

I have bought a 1975 Sries 3 which I am rebuilding on a new galv chassis and bulkhead. I would like to add a winch, but don't seem to be able to find any winch bumpers to suit? It seems to me that the winch would just as easily fit on some sort of mounting plate across the front chassis between the wings (in front of the radiator grille) and may not even need a winch bumper at all???

Any advice would be very much appreciated, especially where I might be able to get such a mounting plate pre-made as I have very little mechanical knowledge and no welding skills (not yet anyway - but I will get there)

Thanks
