yay, so i got a winch today
and found some info on OL about how to mount it, so just thought i'd post it here as tech. I would like to mount it on the back so it doesn't stuff up my approach angle. So we'll see how we go.

19x (1/2 the Drum width)
ie Drum with of 200mm
19 x150 = 2850mm to the first sheeve and the cable will spool on perfect every time

No
you want 1450 mm from the drum to the first lets clal it fair leed or bell on tube then that tube woul run to a fairlead at the front of the car
note the fairlead at the front of the car should be small with no portusions where the cable changes direction

I've been running a mid mounted high for the last couple of years and don't bother using the formula. My first guide was just on 1000mm from the drum and with 50m of 10mm Dynamica, the first and second layer were perfect every time. The rest of the rope would gradually bunch into the midlle of the drum. This did a few things. First no jams, no pressure on the drum.
I'm sure if you had the guide further away it would spool on perfectly all the way to the top layer but I think it works better when it doesn't ie less rope jams with synthetic anyway.
