is it possibile to easily switch from sierra to cortina uprights?

I'm not so expert so forgive me...

Looking here (http://www.ekmpowershop9.com/ekmps/shops/gtstuning/aluminium-uprights---cortina-geometry-350-p.asp) it seems possible to switch
from sierra uprights to cortina ones...only shortening the bottom wishbone...is it true?
As you know it is very difficult to find alloy sierra uprights while it is rather easy to find cortina ones so, if the switch is possibile it would be great for the owners of sierra based kit cars (like me!)

Gavin174 one here has done one car all sierra, and now his second one is cortina... Looking at it at the weekend, its a bit more complex than just a shortened wishbones.. Think the rack has a different position as well and i think different extensions....

Rack extensions are a different length.

Bottom wishbone is the same length.

Top wishbone is 19mm shorter on sierra uprights IIRC
