Yep thats the one I have, though me being me it isn't as from factory. When i recieved it the poor thing was in a bit of a state semi modified from somebody else it didn't fit the requirements.

I have three 3mm flat ally plates that are about 20mm wide that come up the sides much the same as what is there now. but they come upwithin a few mm of the actual mirror. there are blobs of silcone on those. So basically what i did was, set the mirror up so the 9 point support was sitting flat and everything was honky dory, then put the silicone in and waited for a few hours before i put it all back together.

My collimation holds after long trips with minor tweaking from the cats eye equipment and holds perfeclty in a eq setting.

you cant really see what im talking about but where the blue feet are is where the mirror side supports are.
