Yes but you need to be careful when tightening the mounting bolts. The O ring style allows the bolt ears to be pulled down which will bend if not break them, so use caution. You can cut the ears from a gasket and place them between the parts under the bolts which will help keep you from pulling the casting's ears down too far.
