Hi mate. 1st you will have to have the bottom taper machind on the upright to take the maxi taper. Most Kit car places will do this.

2nd. the sierra rack is longer so youl have to have it shortened. Best bet is to use a Mk2 escort rack and rod ends as i dont thing the sierra rod ends fit. Depending on what kit u have. Think they all use mk2 escy except the luego viento. I stand corrected on this bit though.
