Weld all around pin end on side frame, weld top and bottom of pin end on rub rail. Use 1/4” fillet welds with 1/8” minimum penetration for steel, 3/8” fillet welds for aluminum.
Overcenter Buckles Operating Instructions
To tension: Apply initial tension by pulling the handhold strap while the buckle handle is in the open position. As the handle is closed, additional strap tensioning occurs.

Winch Track Recommended Installation Procedures
Winch Installation Instructions
All winches shall be installed so the user can see the pawl, to ensure proper engagement. Additionally, the winch shall be positioned so the pawl drops between the ratchet teeth by gravity. Winches shall never be installed in a position where the user cannot see the pawl engagement, or where they must hold the pawl to engage the ratchet tooth.
Standard winches are designed for bottom mounting. To insure proper operation of locking pawl by gravity, do not install standard winches in side mount orientation.

Standard winches are designed for bottom mounting. To insure proper operation of locking pawl by gravity, do not install standard winches in side mount orientation.
Low profile winches are designed for side mounting (except for low portable and low profile slider winches). To ensure proper operation of locking pawl by gravity, do not install low profile winches in bottom mount orientation (except for low profile portable and low profile slider winches).
All winches, except portable and sliding styles, must be welded or bolted to the vehicle structure. Minimum welding requirements are 1/4" fillet weld, 4" long on both sides of the frame and 1/8" penetration. If winches are installed in track, the track shall be attached to vehicle structural members. The vehicle structure should have equal or greater strength than the winch.
For more detailed track mounting instructions see Winch Track Recommended Installation Procedures section or contact your Kinedyne representative.
