I like this.
One of the things I dislike about my cheap bench vise are the slots in the base that allow the vise to swivel. The carriage bolts always slip and allow the vise body to spin when you are trying to bend something while parallel to the vice jaws. I have to hammer on the T handled nuts to get them to stop slipping. One of these days the carriage bolts are going to blow right through those slots. Those locking notches on yours look like the hot ticket.
I have to say that is probably the cleanest Chinese casting I have ever seen! Wow. I agree with you on replacing all the hardware though. I know we've all been there before.
