Default Granada hubs on a sapphire...

is it possible to swap 4x4 granada 5 stud hubs onto Sapph Cos?

yes, it's a straight forward hub swap if you simply undo the big hub nut

however, with the inherant problems you may face, and the cost of changing the bearings as well as the potential for the hub nuts to strip the threads on the shafts, it may be easier to simply get some brackets made to get your brakes to fit

I quite fancy 5 stud hubs just to be different but...

Did Granada/Scorpio 4x4 models get 5 stud wheels?

If they did, are the hub flanges a straight swap onto Sierra Cosworth 4x4 hubs and driveshafts?

If the didn't, can I use rear flanges on the front for Sierra Cosworth 4x4 hubs and driveshafts?

My mate had his 500 converted to 5 stud ( keeping all the original parts though I might add )

Same story though, got some BBS split rims in 5 stud and had to have them on his car along with the 330mm 4 pots

just drill some new holes in the disc to mount to the flange

you need to file out one of the holes and drill 4 more

easy if you know what you are doing but if you don't, then not as simple and straight forward as it sounds
