m38A1 winch dimensions.

Post by parker007 » Thu Nov 25, 2021 11:21 am

I have looked for a winch for my m38a1 for 10 years and i finally gave up, but I have a civilian ramsey winch that look similar. can anyone with a original winch give me the width between mounting bolts? My plan is to shorten a ramsey 6k winch to same width as a ramsey 50 m38a1 winch.
