How we match the winch kit to your vehicle?
To match a Bush Winch to a vehicle we need to know 3 things:
Fitting the Bush Winch
1. Bolt Pattern
This is the number of nuts/lugs and the PCD (pitch circle diameter). For example, a bolt pattern of 5×139.7 is 5 nuts and a PCD of 139.7. If you need to work out the bolt pattern of you rims it’s easy to count the number of nuts and the diagram shows how to measure the PCD.
2. Thread Hex and contact
There are many different types of threads. You will need to look up the specification for you rims to get the detail. Finally, it’s a good idea to keep the same Hex size as your original wheel nuts so that you can use your original wheel spanner. Different makes and models sometimes have different hex sizes even if they have the same thread type.
3. Clearance
The Bush Winch nuts typically have longer heads than the original wheel nuts. This is so there is about 5mm clearence between the Bushwinch hub and the rim. The diagram shows how the winch should sit on the rim.
