Did the arb deluxe winch bar differ in size at all for the gq patrol?

As far as i remember, there was a DX split rim version, for the GQs with no flares, and the wide wheel pack version, which was the most common, as most ordered the wide wheel pack

AB (8th September 2014)
1997 GQ Patrol RX, TB42E. Mods: OME 2" lift, 33" BFG KM2'S, ARB winch bar & reconditioned X9 Superwinch, IPF 900 spotties HID conversion, ARB side steps and scrub bars, Kaymar rear step & spare wheel carrier & jerry holder, Rear 55W LED worklight, Safari Snorkel, 147L LRA tank, Extended diff breathers, dual batteries, GME UHF, Home built drawer and fridge slide, ARB 60L fridge.
The only measurement I checked is below.
Rosscos measured I think 230mm from behind front plate to grille.
Mine measured 215mm
Both bars were pushed back to mounts and mounted correctly. In fact both were pushed back to body mount plates so...
Edit....ill have to double check exact measurements of front of chassis etc but that's what I saw in the interim.
Everything's fine, the highmount will fit and I could not of done this without johnos bar but I may need to cut my grille up which is disappointing.
It looks so pretty at the moment... Lol
I'm lucky the ic is mounted up high where the highmount tapers back!!!
They should be the same mate.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

There was a bar style that would accommodate a high mount or low mount. There was a huge open area in front of the grille.
I do remember my mate (who works for ARB) commenting when I got my deluxe bar that it was a later model......maybe they changed the design a little.

Rossco was bloody close though, it was 1mm off the grille. He also had to cut a section out of the bottom cross bar to fit it and also had to space it back 3mm from the front plate because of the returns on the bar hitting the winch so he's is definitely not suitable for a highmount straight fit.
Easy fix though for these solid bars, don't get me wrong just confused of the 15mm difference that's all.
I want to 100% confirm this though with some solid structure measurements, not a measurement to the plastic grille so ill double check another day and get back to you.
