3rd time of trying and got it right this time, Ray's mount fits the Superwinch EP9 like a glove.
I used a standard roller fairlead, this time bolted straight to the mount (instead of a Hawse on the bumper). Much more solid install and will be more durable.
Also fitted the winch solenoids in the spare battery compartment rather than behind the bumper, better for access and much more resistant to water and mud etc!!

Stunning piece of work.
Can you get a machine gun to pop out from under the front bumper via a switch on the dash as well?? Must stop buying shiny toys....

Lovely job Andy (well....you have had a bit of practice by now)

Andy this is not a dig but
Hidden Winch with Steel Rope, this cant be right. Hidden with plasma is hard enough so hats off to you
I'm guessing you are going to stick with steel due to the fair lead ?
Just wish there was a solution for the TDV8 Full Fat

I think its a spooling issue, with the hidden winch it can be difficult to watch the cable onto the drum, and avoid bunching and damage. With plasma it does not cause an issue. Thats all. Silver TDV6 HSE

Very nice, what are the specs/make of all the parts, would like to do something similar. Cheers If you are helpful and then stop, you get more agro than if you never helped in the first place.

genuine question, could you explain why it isn't right for steel rope on a hidden winch?
