I bought one and found it to be a very rough casting, much worse than the original, and I suspect quite brittle. I installed it but have not used the winch so I don't know how well it holds up. The good thing is that if it breaks, you can always go back to the pry bar. To save a little money, I fabricated the bracket and pin. I just got the fork and the handle.
Not too long ago Northern Tool sold a complete Chinese MU2 copy. I suspect VPW is getting their repro parts from the same outfit that made that winch.
