I wasn't saying it was bad. I was just trying to relay the few facts that remembered from a forum thread that I read a long time ago.
The things that stood out in my mind were that they were made in China, that they looked VERY similar to the MU-2 and that they were pretty inexpensive (compared to an original winch). I think that someone also posted that the Chinese had bought some of the original tooling from Braden (but I could be wrong).
It would be nice if someone could get the machine drawings or actually bought one and did a side-by-side measurement comparison of the two to see if they are a drop in replacement.
I hope I didn't offend you, it wasn't my intention.
Regards,
Tim
