not a direct fit the calipers need 12mm holes to bolt them on and the si hub only accepts 10mm calipers youd need to face off about 4mm off the hub and drill the holes to 12mm to fit them the brake lines directly fit though hope that helps |

Face off what i mean is you can do it 2 ways One way is cheaper than the other, but the hub has the 4 screws and spinning part which you're wheel and discs it on and spin and protruding from there at the front will be a face with 2 holes These are what you're caliper bolts screw into, you would need to drill these holes out to 12mm to accept the bigger bolts for mondeo calipers, then you can either 1.Take the hubs to a company to take off about 4mm off of that area making the hub thinner if you know what i mean so the bolt holes are shorter in a sense, or 2.Use a grinder and grinding plate if you have a good eye and carefully grind it down 1mm at a time and keep checking fitment of the calipers until they are inline with the discs (they must be tested for alignment at the same time Using a Grinder is much cheaper than getting a company to machine them but you must take your time as to not make them out of line and wear the discs and pads unevenly when theyre fitted Once you have drilled those holes and grind the face down enough you can screw the brake lines straight onto the mondeo calipers and fit them but then you need to adjust the length of the threads of the bolts to fit, in my guide in the guids section the amount you should need to take off is in there You can then bolt it all up and bleed the brakes, use 2.0 brakes of course as theyre the same size as cosworth brakes and substantially cheaper than getting them straight fitted Also upgradng youre brakes is now simple, if you have 15 inch alloys or bigger, then you can buy a set of mondeo v6 brakes in the future and they will bolt straight on 
If you need to know anymore let me know, it may seem a lot of work it took me bro (hes better on the grinder lol) about 2 hours to get it perfect and brakes bled but the amount saved is genius and brake upgrade afterwards is just as rewarding for cheapness
