there are off set fair leads that would likely be centered in the space on your bumper. this is mine. made by spyder trax
i know its hard to tell but i have this mounted upside down and had to open the space a little to make it work. i really needed one like yours

Yes, I'm ashamed of how this aluminum fairlead hawse fits on this ARB Deluxe bumper (see pics below). When I bought the bumper, I thought there would be a mounting plate or something included in the parts which would allow installation of a fairlead hawse , but there wasn't. Checking on the web, it appears I can only use a fairlead roller (delrin) with this bumper - unless someone knows otherwise. The Superwinch I purchased came with synthetic rope, and the hawse.
Can anyone provide input/advice as to what my options might be if I try to use the parts I have? Thanks.

I'm beefing up my roller failead right now and making it a 1 1/2" wider. After a coat of black epoxy paint it will go back on.

reviving this thread!
Hi, I'm currently facing the same situation here with the ARB front bumper, trying to find out what might be the best way to fit a hawse fairlead in there 
May I ask why you didn't consider using two hawse fairleads?
Was it because of any possible extra strain on the line that you were trying to avoid?
Thanks!

You know, you could have just got another piece of steel and cut a nice rectangle to cover the hole. Then cut out a hole just big enough for the blue plate to bolt on to. A little powder coat job and it would have been done.
