Summary: plate so I used a few washers as spacers between the winch and fairlead and used grade 8 bolts to tie everything together. The bolts supplied were too short due to the spacers needed. CRADLE PLUMBING Milemarker supplies a steel plate for mounting the control valve assembly to the vehicle. I welded the plate into the cradle and mounted the control valve assembly to it
