I made my own mount for my superwinch. I can see if I can get some pics that'll show it and send them to you if you'll post your email. I took the plastic off and traced it out on a piece of 1/4 steel I had. Then I figured out were the winch would have to sit behind there and marked that "height" on the plate. Then I welded an L shaped bent piece of plate to the back of the front plate. Drill the winch mounting holes in that, cut a hole in the front that a fairlead will fit thru and bolt it up. It basically looks like a T laying on it's side.

I have seen the nice warn switch for like $39 in denis kirk, they also have the relay for like$90, a starter relay from napa is like $15.


Bear, did you just use a cheap starter relay and have power in only? Send me your diagam please. Roywookey@hotmail.com Thanks

 

1wook some pics would be great

ponchoathome and 1wook you both have e-mail.

 

Hey thanks Bear...that's the exact solution we came up with yesterday night....I am passing buy a scrap metal place to get 1/4" metal plates and will proceed as per your diagram.

Great minds think alike!

 

ill be installing my winch soon also, its a tusk 2000lb, quick question to u guys, where did you put that box thingy that converst power, or what ever it does, im looking to put it in my glove box, but an worried it weill get to wet in there, any advice?

 

ponchoathome; Why do you need scrap pieces od 1/4' steel? I just used the base plate that was already on the winch and cut the center out of it and turn the "L" arounf 180 degrees sp the foot of the "L" was facing out rather than in.

 

RoscoePW; A little water won't hurt a thing. I moun't my relays next to the battery under my seat, that's wehere AC said to mount it and I agreed. Like I said on my 250 I mount the solenoid(fancy name for a big relay) on the left side of the air filter box as there was lots of room and it was easy to get at. I did however coat all my electrical connections with liquid neoperme, then they can't ever get wet.

 

To make the actual mounting plate. I didn't buy or have the Arctic Cat one, or any other one for that matter. The AC mounting plate is 75$ CDN...1/4" steel plate that I need is like 10$-20$ and a little bit of elbow grease!

I will be turning the "L" around 180 degrees, but I still need a plate that bolts up to the front of the machine.

 

Ok, I see but I would go with at least 3/8" if not 7/16". I believe the one on both my cats is 7/16" (it's real husky stuff and d*mn heavy) but to be sure I would have to out to the shop/garage and measure. If you would like a wiring diagram I have one.

 

the wiring diagram would be great
