Thread: XD9000 Warn winch - ARB bar

G'day

Finally get a chance to fit my new XD9000 Warn winch to my 97 Disco with ARB winch bar(non-airbag). After having a quick look, it appears it doesn't quite line up corrrectly. Does anyone know if there is a spacer kit to go between the winch and the bar? This would allow the winch to sit back letting the motor side(end) to slip in the original cut out hole, on the drivers side. Currently when the bolts are done up, the winch is pulled forward and appears the motor cover is then hard up against the side support of the bar, which can't be a good thing. I'm guessing the spacer would need to be about 10mm thick. I'd prefer to go the spacer option at the moment, rather than making the hole in the chassis support bigger.

Thanks

Clutch release is on the passenger side which has a large cutout, but the clutch casing doesn't come close to it. The ARB bar was put on the car when I bought it new in 98, which I guess was before the XD9000 was available.
