I believe Simon and Nick just modified the ST170 engine mount and made up a lower rear torque mount from scratch.
The rear brakes can be swapped easily aswell if you don't want to keep the ABS, you need MK1 focus rear hubs, spindles, calipers and carriers(I paid £90 for mine) and they bolt straight on to the fiesta axle.
Hope this helps. Give Simon a ring at Sitech...very helpfull guy and will talk you through what you need and give you approx costs etc....
