Default Winch Bumper Plans....

Hi all,

It's a long shot but i have a mate offering to build me a custom winch bumper if i can get some cad drawings to base it off. So, does anyone on here have cad drawings of winch bumpers i could purloin, or know of anywhere i could appropriate same from?

Thanks in advance

Dan

here are some related plans you might like CAD Forum - Catalog of blocks - manufactured by Land Rover

here is link to a post of a thread with info about someone doing CAD plans for one he built Check out my bumper plans! - Land Rover Forums : Land Rover and Range Rover Forum

And some others of interest 3D CAD Browser - 3D Model Preview - Land Rover Discovery (1996)

I've heard that Rover uses CATIA for their design

Eventually i will make a front bumper. I plan on using cardboard sheets, cut with a razor knife and hot glued together till i get the design i want.
then make a steel version using the cardboard bumper as a model.

Personally my favorite bumper so far is the ARB design. It looks good, protects the lights, has light mounts, and is winch compatible. Probably heavy though.

The D1 ARB bumpers are notorious for getting tweaked. I don't know if they've updated the design or not.
