    Yep, had me moccos on mate. Safety first!
    If I had a larger grinder, mine is a 115mm, the grinds using the flappy disc would be a lot smoother. As when I run my hand over the area it’s like the Grand Canyon. Not too worried though as the spotties will cover this area. Just getting rid of the useless holes.

    Mudski's High Warn High Mount Rebuild into an ARB GU Bar

    Go the front plate cut and spot welded in. Not sure if I weld the plate the heat is going to damage the bumper though.
    I got a contact at ARB head office chasing new rubbers for me but they are not sure if they are available. As I will have to cut these off. I’ll just wait and see next week before I decided on a plan.
    Hopefully I can as I want to get the bar sandblasted and powdercoated too when it’s done.

    Get a sopping wet tea towel and do a small weld and quench the area immediately. I have done this with success many times, Just keep the weld zone small and absolutely quickly apply the teatowel to the hot area, lots of water.

    Get a bit of copper pipe, split it open, beat it flat and jam it in behind each weld with a thick plate of steel behind it. This and Phil's method combined should really suck out the heat.

    Well being the impatient person I am. I welded it up. Just did a small section at a time let it cool with the help of a spray of water.

    Mudski's High Warn High Mount Rebuild into an ARB GU Bar

    The final fit up of the winch I had to cut more out.
    IMG_2965.jpg
    I was hoping to get the bit out in the bottom left of the pic with adjusts the depth of the bar when mounted up. But it seems it’s seized/ rusted in and I’m worried I’ll snap the thread off. It’s been soaked it everything, hit with heat, frozen and it’s got to a point it won’t go any further without breaking. This is all that’s holding me up now. So close...

    Yeah it’s pretty dodgy though. My knowledge of this is limited so I did the best I could. It’s not nice and flat where I’ve welded up but pretty good and most of it won’t be visible as the spotties will be covering it up.
    Just hope I can get these bumper rubbers.

    Mudski's High Warn High Mount Rebuild into an ARB GU Bar

    Well ARB are firing up the old plant and will be making two new bumpers for me. I should have them in a week or two.

    Going to weld on two extra aerial tags too.
    I have done a test fit of the high mount bolted in. Fitted up good.

    Once the tags are on, I'll be sending it off to be sandblasted then powdercoated. Any suggestions before I take it away?
