I believe those parts are identical. I exchanged the z-lower-mount of my Ormerod 1 a while ago and modified it to use M4x12 cap head screws instead of the countersunk ones, see here: [forums.reprap.org]

Now I am a little bit afraid. Because I had some issues with my printer at the moment I replace some parts with newer an better one (at the moment I try to print the spring loaded extruder for example) printed in ABS. My z-lower mount is still the original one delivered with my Ormerod 1. Now I am reading that there are maybe stability issues. Normally ABS should be more stable than PLA, shouldn't it?
The most problems I have are indeed the Exxtruder gears. Some gears I have printed in HIPS cannot be used anymore. My Extruder looks really strange at the moment, but I am able to print at the moment until the new extruder is ready. I do not want to risk my original parts because I am printing ABS and some parts already got a little bit weak.
ZPL, maybe it is a problem with these anti vibration stands?
Sorry, for being a little bit off topic.

i also noticed that the countersunk screws are a bit too long(the ones supplied with my printer) in the triangle part i noticed that the scews actualy reached the extrusion before the plastic even came near it. i only noticed after reasembeling it ,i could see circular scratches on the extrusion ,so i shortened them.
