Okay, lots of information on upgrades based on Princess calipers(As rare as rocking horse sh1t) Hi-Spec (!!!) etc.

Does anybody know if the Granada front hubs are the same as a capri? I seen to think they might be, but not sure why I think this!

The reason for the question is that I have seen an upgrade for capri's based on Mondeo calipers and discs. This is about half the price of other upgrades.

Don't think so Granada hubs are 5 stud and Capri are 4 stud. Capri is probably the same as the Cortina, but that's not going to help. However the Capri guys do use the princess Calipers as an upgrade.....now what was the question!!

from memory the Capri was mcpherson struts on the front not wishbones as in the granada/cortina/wedge so doubtfull, that the kit would go stright on.

At the end of the day the caliper could probably be made to fit though if you can get a mounting bracket made.
