Does anyone know if the Warn 9.5XP or XDC will fit in the Sovereign Bar?

Thanks

Are you absolutely sure the 9.5XP will fit? The sales manager at ARB Hoppers Crossing told me that i will not fit the Soverign Bar.

Chippy and I both have Warn XD9000 in Soveriegn bars and it is a tight fit.
As far as I know the 9.5XP has a larger motor than the XD9000 which may pose an issue in fitting it between the bracing.

Note the Soveriegn is designed to have the cable wind on to the winch over the top of the spool, whereas Warn winches are designed to have the cable wind on to the spool from the bottom. That means to fit a Warn winch to a soveriegn bar it needs to installed backwards (with the motor on the opposite side).

The ARB sales guy was definately trying to upsell....

It sounds like a safe option considering the no one can confidentky tell me that the 9,5xp will fit, that I should just buy the xd9000.

Has everyone mounted the solanoid in the engine bay?

Here is a couple of pics of my solenoid box mounted in the engne bay.



As soon asI get around it, I will be replacing the Warn soleninds with this Albright unit (the one Albright unit replaces all four Warn Solenoids).

The 9.5XD is 2cm longer on the motor side and same diameter plus cooling fins.

Chippy, can you please have a look at yours and see if there is 2.1cm clearance at the motor end of your xd9000? Is there 0.5cm clearance around ther perimeter of the motor end for the cooling fins?

Thanks very much.

Nath, you might want to check out this months 4WD action, big test on winchs, the 9.5XD come up second to the Premier and it was $500 cheaper, worth a look before you fork out your hard earned cash. I have no idea of the dimensions and suitability of the later, just thought i would flag it.
