I also put a whole leg onto an xr2i before of an si but I didn't seperate anything.we never changed the broaches to suit an si,and knowing ford engineers they most certainly wouldn't have changed an entire production line to suit one model that ran for 2 years!!!
mate anyone that know anything about fiesta's knows there is a difference between the mk3 and mk3.5 hubs ! you can bang on about working in the factory all you like fact is they are different and dont fit .
a lot of people change over to the mk3.5 stuff because of the better wheel bearing but you need to change the shaft and pop a 1mm sleeve in the hub so the shock will fit.
