Brad NSW Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Finally finished the winch mount for the Smart Car. It clamps on either side of the deck, so I can load from either side. Takes about 10 Minutes to clamp it on, using one bolt through the deck. Electrical comes from a quick connect running from the battery, hanging on the back of the cab. This weekend will be the first attempt loading the Smart Car....then it's off to Norfolk, VA for a 3 week course I run there, so no more projects.

I have not done my winch yet. Do you mind if I can borrow your idea ? Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPL Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Brad If you are going to be here in Norfolk give me a call. 757 646 1686. I've been gone for two weeks and got back into town yesterday. Hope to leave today for Williamsburg. Will be staying at the Pottery Campground. Only for 4 days. So maube we can get together. Have a safe trip. Are you towing? There isn't much internet service up there so a call is better. Hope to see you soon and have a safe trip. Pat The Old Sailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad NSW Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 JPL, I'm flying out for a course I run. Will call when I get in town. Would love to see your rig and share ideas. Al, I attached the drawing I made for the mount. I made it much shorter than depicted, so it only overhangs 4-5 inches. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan0043 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hi Brad, I have a question or too for you. I am looking at the pictures. It seems that you used wood for your 4 x 4 blocks, I'm I right ? And the 4 x 4's is sandwiched between two pieces of 1/4" steel plate. Thank you for again help, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
