It doesn't mount to the bar, they use a tray that the winch mounts to upside down between the chassis rails.
I've just bought an airbag compatible winch bar (ARB 3232050) for my 97 Disco, however it doesn't look like the winch will mount to the bar itself. Does anyone know if a separate tray is required to mount the winch? And if so, where to source one? The previous owner didn't have one and never fitted a winch.
Thanks!

My son had this exact issue with a TJM bar on his Disco 2.
He was all set to make one, when he dropped into the local TJM store in Albury, and they had one in the shelf, for way less then the steel was going to cost him.
If I were you I'd contact ARB before doing anything else.

A few years back I wanted some of the crush cans for that same bar. I went to the ARB factory in Kilsyth. They didn't have them, but they had the plans and they made them for me. Quite reasonable price too. Of course, those parts are a bit different to a winch cradle, and there is no way I could have made them myself so the situation is a little different, but it costs nothing to ask. However, I doubt I'd have got the same result from an agent.
The factory has a sales counter with staff that helped.

I can take some pics of mine, but it is on the car so a little hard to see.

Not like that now, if you want something that isnt in stock you have to wait til they are doing a production run and its not like D1 winch trays are a moving item these days.
I actually know one of their engineers and i ordered my fitting kit in person in Kilsyth and it took nearly 4 months.
A TJM tray will fit since the tray is not connected to the bar at all.
