Got me winch fitted

(1/1)

thermidorthelobster:
...courtesy of a custom winch mount between the chassis rails made by my friend Stuart.  Had great fun angle-grinding the spoiler.

Nice neat job;  would be even more subtle if I could afford a plasma rope & fairlead, but not really worth it.

The blob on the 0 in the number plate is where the joystick plugs in.  Isolator secreted elsewhere to stop people messing around with it.

mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
the series 2 disco looks better like this way i think

diggerdog36:
Your friend Stuart has done a very good job!!
Ive been looking for ages for something like that, but how do you get to the free-spool lever.
Im looking for the 2003 G4 mounts that sit infront of the bumper, Bram racing have similar ones.

Jake:
Looks great David

You can buy off the shelf discreet mounts for D2's
They look like this and are distributed Bearmach

Stuart made a neat little coupling for the free spool.  There's a spindle with a cable connected to a wheel which rotates the free spool.  You control it via a 1/2" socket which projects forward through the spoiler, which you can just about see in the photo.  It's a neat solution, easier than it sounds  but took some engineering to make it work!
