Vitara ARB Bar Winch Options

I am seeking advice from anyone who has, or knows about, the ARB winch bar for a Vitara (SWB). I am trying to select an appropriate winch, but have been unable to determine which ones will fit. There is a Runfa 8000lb that seems like a fair option but I do not know if it fits? ARB state the bar will fit the Warn 6000lb winch, but I cannot find any dimensions for that winch so I cannot compare others for fit, and I am not interested in paying such a high price for the warn option.

Anybody have some options or information?

As it took some effort to find this data I thought others may find the information useful. The dimensions of a winch that does fit in the Vitara ARB bulbar are 534mm L x 160mm D x 193mm H. The mounting bolt pattern is 254mm x 144mm. Any winch that is similar or smaller may therefore fit. However, I don’t yet know how to ensure it can be successfully mounted in a suitable orientation.
