The Vitara bolt pattern is the reverse to the sierra sterring box mounts. On mine (steering box moved way forward) i used one original hole and drilled the others, welded in crush tube and off i went.

the vitara pump bracket bolts straight on to the sierra motor.
the problem is it hits the chassis, as sierras are narrower in the chassis.
It is very easy to make it fit, as described in above post.

I don't know of any aussie companies that sell bolt on conversion kits, but lots of usa companies do.
