Thinking about the recent thread discussing the factory "hidden winch" option from the early days of the XJ. The write-up states that the winch mounting plate uses the optional factory tow hook brackets, which have an extra set of mounting holes allowing them to mount 3" or 4" forward of the usual position. I've seen the extra holes in my factory brackets, so I can confirm that they exist.
The question: It has been reported that Rusty's and C4x4's tow hook brackets are essentially clones of the factory brackets. Does anyone know if they include the extra mounting holes? I looked at the pic on the C4x4 web site but I couldn't see that part of the bracket well enough to tell if it has one or two sets of mounting holes.
For anyone who might have one of the original hidden winch mounting plates, how's cances of getting a measured drawing to use as a template for making up a copy?
TIA
