Looks like the same kit I bought off corral forums. If so it was a quality kit, everything you needed for a nice install. Guy went by grn92conv I think he is a member here also.

modifying the bracket takes like 5 min, for not to much more you can get one from a parts store with a lifetime warranty!

I just bought a 140 amp 1 wire unit for mine thats in the same configuration as the old one. I could have used the stock bracket without any mods and came out cheaper than the Ebay 3G. Plus I have a warranty I know will be backed up if need be. I'm trying my best to do away with any ugly wires like that just on the left side of the photo.
