I have that exact unit. The mounting ears don't fit properly and require modification. The ears are also weak and need gussets welded on to the bar to keep it from sagging at a certain position. I had to use long bolts with a small diameter spacer then the nuts to be able to mount the flywheel. Besides that, it works just fine. Lol
