Has anyone got some spare winch mounting bolts, need to mount up a winch, but dont have the bolts to mount it into the bar! Pretty handy hey!

Otherwise I'm off to a bolt shop, I assume they are high tensile bolts?

Thanks heaps for the help!

bunning sells bolts they will have some grade 8s that will be fine to use, u may nee to take the winch in to make sure you can get a nut that fits in the hole, or do you have the orig nuts
