So over the weekend I installed my winch onto my '09 XP 850. The winch and everything installed real nice and wiring was all pretty simple. Everything went well until I went to put the silver metal front back one. I couldn't get it to swivel up high enough to put the top bolts back in. I noticed the bent flange of the cross piece was hitting where the fairlead is mounted to the winch mount bracket. (I'll post pictures incase you don't know what I'm talking about) To make a long story short I found I had left a little play in the top botls on the back bracket, so that took up about half the distance needed, then I had to bend the top of the cross brace on the metal bracket down to get the rest of the room.
Now if I was to take the winch off you would never noticed I bent it but I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it?

P.S. I also have a question about the winch but I'll put that in a new thread.
