    I have come across several different ones (I did a recent power-to-manual swap with used parts, then replaced several parts).

    I have seen them with grease zerks, without, with a nut on the bottom and without, and I recently bought one off of e-bay NOS that had mounting holes too small so I had to drill them out. I am not sure if that one was the correct part number, but I made it work.

    Overall, all the ones I have seen had the same dimensions and worked the same.
