Most of the dimensions are a case of making it fit the vehicles chassis rather than being a generic fit, so items like the width will vary a little. but its not like the HD winch bumper on a firends disco, which you can shake it by the A bar and it moves against the chassis.
The winch tray is made from 100*100*6 box section, cut into 2 angles and welded together to give a 200*80*6 channel. The front half was tapered from either side of the fairlead to match the winches shape and bring it nearer the front of the chassis. I made a template out of card to determine the size and shape of the side plates. This then got computer modeled, tweeked, printed out at 1:1 scale, stuck on the steel to cut around.
Most of the dimensions for bits like the jacking points and recovery eyes were a case of using what I had to hand and makeing it "fit where it touches"
