My current winch, Supercheep Auto 9500lb winch is very close to the 2 bracing straps on the bulbar.

Is it possible to space the winch back a bit more from the bulbar without compromising its ability?
I am about to install a 12000lb winch and it will have the same issues, namely the gearbox leaver is too close to the bulbar and the 2 bracing straps.

Looks like a 5-10 mm a space is needed to clear this issue.

Doing a search seems spacers were/are used with some ARB bullbars, but not seem much re Nissan bullbars.

It would seem that certain brands of winch need to be stepped back from the bar a bit to make the gear leaver assessable and to wind the rope on properly.

Dose anyone know what the Nissan Winch kit consists of?
Any issue spacing the winch back by 5 – 10mm from the face of the Nissan bullbar?
