    Range Rover P38 Winch Mount in Echuca, VIC | eBay

    I have spoken with Mark who is distributing them. There is still further modification to be done on the mount. It will also have mounts to the cross bar (similar to the discrete winch mount). Great thing is that he is local (well at least for you Eastern States ) and it is manufactured in Australia.

    Heading up to the high country next week, I'll be giving the winch mount as good a test as possible, with and without extra brackets. The challenge will be to break some bolts in its current state and go from there.
    It'll also be the first trip for me in the P38 since the retirement of the Disco 1 so looking forward to that..

    Winch mount success, Winch Success, Dyneema Rope Failure.... Had a great little trip last weekend (1st in the P38, LOVE this car) which was also a great opportunity to give the winch mount a bit of a test in situ.
    After some easy recoveries with all going well but not under heavy load, my mate managed to get his Disco 2 well and truly jammed in a couple of muddy ruts up against the side steps, and on a cornered rut.
    We thought this a good opportunity to put the winch under some heavy load.... We were correct, the 13,000lb winch was working harder than I had ever heard it work before, winch mount held perfectly and the Dyneema rope was the first to go. So shovels and snatch it was.
    VERRY Happy with the strength of the mount points, I'll post some pics over the weekend of the mount and extra brackets. Cheers

    Discrete winch mount

    I just made one up, (modified a bought one) for about $150 if the P38 chassis is the same I could sort another one.

    The measurement between chassis rails is the important thing.

    Cheers

    Smile Be secure!

    I think anyone fitting a winch or bull bar needs to be aware of this.

    In the landrover winch plate fitting instructions it says to use 15 mm bolts.
    You have to drill it out obviously, but the crush tubes are 15mm so it makes for a snug fit.

    P38A Winch Mount

    I notice that forum member 98P384.0 has a winch mount on eBay.

    I wish I'd seen it earlier - he's in Echuca and I was there last week!

    I wonder if he'd share the drawings?......

    Hi

    Mark has gone quiet on the winch mount so now I am on the hunt again

    There are some pics of a factory mount here

    P38 Factory Winch Install Warn XD9000 CE - General Discussion Forum - NCLR - Northern California Land Rover Club

    And a guy on FB made one

    https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...3882230&type=1

    So it should not be too hard to get one made if I can get the measurements, which might be possible using those pics
