I'm about to start building my mount for my 8274 (in a Fj40) and was wondering 2 things

1-How big should the opening for the cable be in the front of the mounting plate? I'm thinking it should be at least as wide as the drum but how tall should be?

2-The 8274 is mounted from the front with the 4 bolts but should the bottom of the winch touch the mounting plate for support. I'm thinking it should not but without seeing one mounted is at hard to say. If it doesn't touch the bottom, how far should the bottom bolts be from the bottom plate?

I did some searching but didn't really find any answers.

A little bigger than the inside opening of the fairlead.
 
When I cut the opening in the front bumpers I go 3 1/4 x 8 inches.
 
Ishobie, how's the youtube video posting coming along? I'm ready to mount my rebuilt 8274 thanks to your videos and could use some more help. Thanks and please keep up the good work.
