Received my ORA winch plate. Stripped off my front bumper and front recovery points ready to fit. I put the plate in place and it didn't fit properly. I thought I might have got it the wrong way around so checked the ORA pdf fitting guide and it was in the correct position however I noticed my plate was a slightly different shape to the one in the pictures so I had a look at the one in the advert on the ORA site. Bothel the photos show a cutout to fit around the chassis leg ends, mine did not on the offside leg side. :angry: So much for a simple drill and bolt on job. So out comes the grinder to trim a bit off the leg end and cut/grind the cutout in the plate myself. Not great but it is now on and ready for my winch when I get it B)

Leave the clutch plate bolts loose as its easyer to get it in then bolt it all in and do them up where the cable goes through well thats what i did

The problem i found is due to the studs on the gearbox/engine(cant remember what there on) it stops you wiggling and shaking it in

Even if it is lined up spot on thay dont alway slip straight in as the splines dont always line up
