If you do that & reguly grease & wd40 it, it will last
DONT mount the electric box on the winch as it WILL catch on the spool
Mount it on the near side > ( passenger side ) inner wing

Any problems / questions, just txt / call

Ta my dear re mounting advise. And nice to know if I get stuck.

Cheers all for greasing ect.

Looks good bud, just need to get it mounted in the bondage bar now

You organised the winch tray yet?

You might find you need longer cables to mount the box in the engine compartment (further back the better imho, mine is up near the bonnet hinge). Welding cable does the job well

Might want to also think about a cut-off switch for the +ve cable, some have them some don't - I figure better safe than sorry on the albeit slim chance the winch runs away from you

Dude, it's just a fairly common short hand for positive (+ve) and negative (-ve) using the same plus and minus signs you get on EVERY battery

And I'm only 29!!

Damn that's my 1950's comment out the window then

I still genuinely had no idea about these be markings.
