Here are hopefully better pictures of the horizontal and verticals of the masthead. Please note the width between the 5/16 slits and the overall width of the horizontal pieces have yet to be finalized, both the pulley and hook are approx. 1 1/4 in width, would like an 1/8" between pulley and the vertical pieces, while not making it hard to hook the winch line to the lower mount and the radius slits might change a little as I am going to calculate the lowest possible angle of the booms themselves today.

Also going to attach the Warn winch mounting dims for the winch.

​Also Still needing 4 d-rings...anybody have some cheap? Thanks in Advance!

So I felt a little guilty about messing up the posting . I finished up the design work on welding web forum. I thought I was waiting for final revise on the drawing but I noticed it was fixed when I looked for the drawings. I will start looking for a water jetter first or lazer cutter second to cut this out! Starting locally (more expensive...everything is more expensive in Lost Angels ) but no shipping cost (plus I can film the process for another youtube video!), then further out .

Yeah the guy helping me with the cad drawings was transitioning from employee to self employed and I didn't want to bother him and didn't realize he had finished the drawings. That said I got one quote back and I think its high. they have a minimum, which would be 8 pieces (2 sets) and the quote was 300.00 does that sound right to you guys?

EDIT: This price is with me supplying the steel.
