You should state fairly heavy gauge steel angle iron
The way the other answers are going i could see plastic angle being sugested:D

Hi tensile plastic of course. :D

See :p and it:wasntme:

It seems the majority of experts here recommend using a fastener of some sort... kind of puts my idea of 'No More Nails' in perspective doesn't it?

sssssshhhhh I'm trying to disguise it as a winch, between you and me I'm trying to build a Spitfire out of a Land rover, everyone else has done the opposite.

What about Hay Band. You must have plenty lying around. ;)

Don't underestimate the tensile strength of bailing twine. I presume it would require a full cradle to be made so it will fit securely. I am just wondering about the effect it will have on the cooling system being so close to the radiator. Would it require the installation of a new crossmember?

buy the cheapest arb non winch bar and start cutting.
the grinder is your friend:twisted:
probably need a piece folded for the front.
good luck and don't ever drop that thing on your toes:o

I was thinking glue it to the brick wall and then hit the wall at 100-110kmh. It should self weld to the front:).
If you go over 110 then it becomes a mid mount unit:eek:.

Build a completly new bar around the winch....

I did and it looks great.....
