As you probably know Sierras and 80s/90s Granadas were built on the same floor pan pressing the wheelbase was adjusted by croping the pressing.
The Granada shared front suspension with the Cosworth Sierra and P100 pick up the main difference in the HD front suspension is that the track
control arm balljoints don't have taper fittings.

The Granada 5 stud rear hubs are a direct replacement for the sierra ones. No modifications are needed. You can also swap the cortina front uprights
for the 5 stud Granada ones which have much bigger disks and callipers as standard.
I know this as I have a full set but am not selling them as I need them for fitting my Lambo wheels, which I'm hoping to use them on a single
seater car

^^ as above the mk3 granny ones are a strait swap on the rears (granny/sierra fronts can be done but take a bit more work)
btw mk3 granny ones have a 5x112 PDC

also larger
bearings and different offsets on the brake discs - those are the bits that cause a problem if you try to put a granny front hub in a sierra front
upright... but these can be delt with (letting you use an off the shelf sierra setup)
or you could adjust the front setup to suit the granny uprights

Front end parts from a Sweeney era Granada Mk1 or MK2 or the early P100 Cortina cab pickup will do the job --no 100% sure if the bottom ball
joint has the same taper.

bottom ball joint for the Granada uses the same one as the Cortina, that's what I used
