In my case this was basically a straight swap of one unit for it's newer twin. The instructions were perfect and the hardware and brackets were correct.
The fan has been up and running for almost two months now and is quiet and efficient.

Good fan for the price. The manufacturer made changes in it, you can no longer replace the motor or any of the insides as you could to previous models made by this company. It works nice, just a bit more noise than I'd like.

You have to insert some plastic buffers in between the light cover the plastic air intake to stop the vibrating sound. But it is easy to install and looks good.
