Has any one used Gwyn Lewis for winch bumpers at all?
They are advertised in this months TOR on page 45.
It says they sell them in kits for welding yourself.

Im planning one with the box cos i can get some ex coastguard & RNLI 8274-50 winches.
I think Devon 4x4 make tubular bumpers like that.

Taks to Devon 4x4 if you want one like theirs... they will do one without the winch cradle for you.   Or talk to Mill-Services, they do a tubular bumper.. prices start at around 45 quid... or you can get a custom job for between 100 - 150 quid
