OK I'm home now, the black plate in the picture is the outer plate, the winch sits on it and it bends upward cuz it has a hole in it that your winch cable goes through. The white plate in the picture is mounted to both the top and bottom "halves" of the inside of the machine. I don't know about U- bolts, I think mine was done at a dealership. So they used the proper brackets.
Here's a couple pictures I took just now, if you look at the bracket that goes underneath my winch and bends upwards it is the black bracket in the pic of the white winch hoop. I use the flashlight and lit up the inside plate the best I could.

If you can get a conquest plate, they should fit. The front body contour is the same.sigpic

argo jim can you explain how you made your winch mount plate??Comment

The older pic that was posted came in Phil and I removed it, all my plates are factory. If you look at the installation instructions of the conquest you'll get a good idea. If Kris sends you some measurements you and a welder should be able to recreate the plates.sigpic

alright...kris send me some measurements if its ok with you.is there anyway possible i can just use a thick place mount it on the hoop and mount the winch to that?Comment
-
The plate mounts to the upper and lower body and wraps around the hoop so you are not pulling on the body alone but also the frame.
Again, if you could buy a Conquest winch brace set you should be set.sigpic

ok ive made my decision... im going to either make an angle iron body band or no winch at all. this making pltes is just to difficult for me. so how hard it it to make a body band. and how do mount the winch to it.also would i still need the hoop once i get a body band to help support the winch or no?Comment
-
The body band is going to be harder to build than the plates. There is a lot of cutting and welding to get the band to conform to the contours of the body. Plus, the body band will add a lot of weight to your machine. I would stick with making the plates only if I were you.Comment

ok. oh man these plate are going to be the death of me. oh and i just got the engine put back in!Comment

Curtis i just picked up an
i/C which i a
