Max II winch plate help

[wiggy]

Hi Guys
Can any one please tell me if 5mm Alloy plate would do for a winch plate, just I got plenty of it, could double it up,
Any help would be great.
Thanks Richie

Factory winch plates were 3/16" or 4.7mm. You should be good. Factory had a plate in the upper body and a strap across a part of lower body with brace tying together outside. Someone should have some pics of one. I can't find my install sheet for the Max II.

Factory was steel. I've used 3/16" aluminum with extra braces.
