Hey Kallen. I had to face mine up as it was fouling everywhere facing towards the front, except at the very back which was pointless as you cannot reach it by hand. I was just gonna heat up and bend the handle or cut it down a bit... and leave it at 12 oclock. Howevrer, I now have the different Runva winch I got today with a different clutch handle and can be rotated all around, unlike the original one which cannot be rotated past a certain point on the front.
Here is how my 11Xp is fitted you can tell the selector switch fouls on top of that bull bar. ANd second photo is of my new winch.
