No. Should look like this...........

with this...........

See how the ebay one has a shoulder at the top of the bolt bit so you can tighten the nut at the bottom up against the wheel holder bit and rubber and this one needs to slide through the plate after you hook it over the wire.

Heres the ebay one for reference...

Yeah I think the winch and rope are all the same. I thought the n67 might have had a different rope end but after looking they are all the same.

No. The ends are different.

Yeah i know that. The winch and ropes are more than likely all the same though.

So do you plan on replacing the cross member and winch ?
Makes you wonder what happens to them after they have been removed for the gas tank..

They go in the bin, or like my old HJ Kingswood ute (not Sandman but had N66 rims) the whole lot goes in the shed and stays there for some obscure reason!
