I have sourced a cheap factory Nissan winch bar but it came without mounting hardware. I have already sourced the bolts but am having trouble getting the large, thick washers required to get a decent bite on the elongated holes on the bar.
For those that don't know what I'm talking about, they are about 40mm in diameter, about 4mm I think, high tensile flat washers with about a 13mm hole.
Anyone have any idea where I can find something like this. Rang ARB and Nissan, no go. Coventry Fasteners have something similar but too small.
If I can't find them I'll prob get some plates made up but was hoping for an "off the shelf" jobbie if possible.
Yes, I did consider that too. It will only be a standard bar for a while without winch but if I haven't found a solution before I do put a winch in, that will be the next step.
I suppose grind the corners off and a whack of black rattle can would be bling enough ...
If you don't have any luck there, drop into an Ergon or energex Depot. Find an overhead linesman and ask for some crossarm washers - they are of similar dimensions - hole may be a little large though.
