Ron,
If you're gonna be in Atlanta soon, stop by and look at my Lightweight, you can copy
what I did if you desire. I have the Warn 8274, but dimensional mods would suit fix you
up.
I took the bolt pattern dimensions that came with the 8274, had a piece of 3/16 plat cut,
drilled the holes and welded it to the back of the bumper. I didn't do anything to the
frame horns. Important, I also cut 1/4" plate to fit the inside profile of the bumper and
welded it in place next to the fairlead bolt holes. The reason being if you bolt through
the fairlead to the winch, there is nothing to tighten to, except the bumper channel, which
will give and the bolts will loosen. The plate I welded in, or you could use pipe cut to
length, doesn't give and let's you tighten the bolts down and they stay tight.
I don't have a didgital cam or I'd send you a pic.
Tom
