I'll go see Bob and ask his advise

 

It's going to have to have a maximum rating applied which wil be the Winch working rate I should imagine

[Dean Lofthouse]

Getting things together now.

 

Got a new winch handle and a square peice of aluminium plate 16mm thick for the winch backplate.

 

Does anyone know the thickness of the mild steel plate for the Fixing bracket what which is strapped to the tree what the winch slots into.

 

It's looking about 10mm to me
