Default 2001 Disco II Front Bumper Bolt Pattern

Well, my son did a number on my DII so I have to go haul it back home. I have a tow bar already that I'm going to use, but I need to make some brackets that I can bolt to the frame were the front bumper "was". Does anyone have the bolt pattern where I can bolt the bracket to the frame? Basically need to make 2 of these and I'd like to drill the holes before I make the drive.

You would need a bracket that will bolt onto the side of the frame as the bumper is held on by 2 through bolts.

Thanks!
Looks like about 2.5"?
And about a .375" Bolt?
What about from the front hole to clear the end of the frame?

Won't you need an "L" shaped bracket instead?
So it can drop below the frame and bumper, and extend to the front?

Well, my son made it easier by making the front bumper go away. So I just need to bolt to the sides of the frame and extend far enough to clear the end of the frame plus about an inch.

Maybe 2-5/8", probably best to slot one of the holes. From the center of the bolts to the front of the frame is right an inch.
