    just to round out this thread...

    I made a bracket bolted onto the bottom/side of my traxide battery tray to mount a winch isolator. It's a 500a Stinger isolator controlled by a switch inside the car. I really liked the manual+switch operated isolator Scott used but couldn't bring myself to pay >$600! The switch circuit is fused - not sure if it needed to be but it's got a 3a fuse there just in case.

    and I ended up going with a slim line number pate mounted above as I couldn't fit a thimble with a flip up number pate. i was also concerned it might come off in river crossing.

    Well done with the install...it is a challenge and I shared a lot of your frustration when I installed my winch as an early COVID Lockdown project back in 2020 https://www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-disc...6=#post3018984

    Hi ... similar issue with the supplied captive nuts that are bracketed together imprecisely and never line up...I think in the end I replaced them with other high tensile nuts...and yes, loads of bumper cutouts.
