Jinmy box is a straight swap but the steering column needs the plasic pegs drilling out and shortening slightly.

I have a G16 with Vit pump fitted. None of the pipes really fit properly, thay can be bodged on but i got custom pipes made up. Price for these varies rapidly, i paid very very little, some firms will charge upto £100.

If your fitting it to a G13 you need to get a double bottom pulley made or off a vit/jimny and mix and match all the pulleys (alternator, fan, PAS to match). Also need to make up a bracket to fit the pump properly.
