Yeah I like that one, any idea how much it weighs? I might be interested in making a copy, is it possible to send copies of the templates via internet? |

Is it my imagination - or - is that winch hanging below the mounting plate? That would not be the strongest way to mount it. |

Reckon you're imagining it - have a look at how it's built (pre-fitting cradle and paint shot with it off the car) |

Press benders are good for doing long sweeping bends like my bar just do like 6 pumps every 50mm |

| Post subject: | Re: my vitara winch bar |
I'm glad to hear it! How do they go with the tight bend you have done on the corner of your bar where it follows the corner of the car? I'm totally new to bending metal though I've done a fair bit of metal work |
