winch cradle dimensions

[rdarnell]

Anyone have the correct koenig winch on their Patrol that could provide me some dimensions of the metal cradle holding the winch? I have recently purchased a Koenig C-100 and need to build the cradle that holds it. Most of it I can figure out once I hang it on the frame rails but if i had the front and rear angle iron sizes it would make for a great start. here is what I have.

And this is what it should look like

What I need to know is from the back side what is the size of the angle iron ans the thickness. I also need the center of the bolts from the top. the back pieces should be the same size metal but not sure about if the bolts are the same distance from the edge as the front plate lays on the bumper and the rear does not. here are some of the dimesions I need.

I live in Louisville Ky, if someone has one I would love to come look it over.

I had all the intentions of making a diagram of the winch mounting before I sold the Patrol. The most I did was take some pictures though. Someone might be able to piece these together to make a diagram. Here are the pictures that I took: https://photos.app.goo.gl/x1O4XVIkxszNLgc52

thank you, that does help. I was thinking the back piece was just flat bar and not angle iron. I see that the bumper needs to be relocated, I have not taken any measurments yet but I was wondering if it needed to be moved. I know on my FJ55 land Cruiser there are bumper brackets that move the bumper out farther. Looks like I might already have a hole for the PTO driveshaft.

came across these in the 1973 parts manual.

did some cable weaving over the weekend. The end of the cable had a couple bad spots so I removed about 12ft and weaved in a new eye for the hook. It might have been a little easier if my 7/16 cable was not 30-50 years old. Not sure if it was the original cable but it certainly looks the part

They don't make stuff like that anymore.

I thought about using clamps like what was on it but I really like the look of being braided. I am not ready to quit my day job but it will do.
