Winch Question

[Chris4x4Gill2]

I am trying to mount a Warn M8000 on my truck....but I can't see how the solenoid is suppose to mount onto the winch. The instructions say to use the supplied bracket but I don't see anything in the box that would be a mounting bracket for it...am I missing a piece or just not overlooking something?

I have seen them mounted 2 ways. First way is as you are looking at the winch from the front it mounts to the left and on top of the motor part. I guess it uses the 2 top bolts that hold the sides together and a bracket to the solenoid. 2nd way is above and to the back of the cable drum. Also in some applications like in a bumper you can mount it anywhere you want. I hope this helps.

I was wanting to mount it like the first way, on top to the left side...like in the pictures at warns website....but I geuss the bracket to do that with didn't come with my winch like it was suppose to. And warns website says they are closed till like the 5th. Oh well...maybe I can ziptie it to the grill guard or something till I can contact warn.
