    Got it all working, though now my bullbar is slightly crooked, when I took the bull bar off there were about half a dozen washers on one side of the mount and couple on the other, got no adjustment either way bugger it because the winch cradle steel is to thick..
    Had a 1999 GU ST Patrol 4.5L Auto on Dual Fuel ...now have a 2003 GU ST ZD30TD Auto.

    Adjust the bar where it mounts to the bracket right up behind the bar. Loosen them enough to just be able to manipulate the bar with a rubber mallet or a good whack.

    I originally removed the bar at the chassis to measure up and fit the cradle so everything went back together as before and the 3mm angle replaces the 3mm spacer so happy days.
    I had the then remove the bar at the top mounting point to fabricate the fairlead bracket and also had no idea that there was so much adjustment there. Fitted the bar, did the bolts up tight and my mate stood there laughing because of the 3mm gap on one side and the 33mm gap on the other side. A quick nudge and all is good.

    MJR, a bit off topic, but I was wondering if you could please post up the User Manual that came witht the winch in the Manaul section. I have just worked out that the winch in my just bought Patrol is a Tigerz11 Grande MKII. I have got it operating etc no probs but am also trying to get all the manuals and missing bits for it. Are you able to assist?

    I'm away for the weekend at the moment and to be honest I have no idea where the manual is or if I still have it. Ill let you know when I get home.

    It looks to be identical to the supercheap ridge rider 12000lb winch as well.

    Will be doing exactly that , using this thread as inspiration.
