Hi Si,
They bolt up fine. I think there may have been too much space between the outside pad and the disc, so maybe a very thin spacer/single washer is needed. fiestaboy1983 (his name's something like that) has a set and bolted them straight on, says they're great.
As Rawli said, I've just ordered a set of Wilwood Billet Dynalites from the states, as I got a real hunger for 4 pots!

I'll get my set on next weekend!
Dave - The only mods you have to do is to drill out the calliper mounting holes from 10 to 12mm
I'll get my old man to do it next weekend and ill take some pics!

Max - My brakes are for sale for £240 plus postage, I may help out a bit if the postage is a lot.

According to heeman and fiestaboy1983 you don't have to do any drilling. I think the confusion occured when gadget mentioned in one of his posts that this needed doing, as it was true for the ST170 brakes, and he may have assumed the same for the ST24.....
Not true.
Ive already mesured up the bolts to my existing hubs and I will DEFINATLY need to drill them

I'm lost!
So the hubs must be different then on different fiestas? Or you have the wrong bolts?

They can't be the same because I put my ST170 fronts on the other day and the hub had to be drilled out to 12mm....
....heeman and festaboy1983 have ST150 and said they didn't have to do this...

I find that very very strange.
If I remember right I bought the first set off of gadget back in the summer last year!
MAybe fords have redone the design of the callipers?
Gadget or Gaz maybe you could shed some light on this?

SimonT - Just to clear up, it's the hub that gets drilled with the ST170 brakes, so that the ST170 bolts go through the hub. The threaded bit of the carrier remains unchanged. Heeman and festaboy1983 say that the ST150 carrier to hub mounting is 10mm like the mk3/3.5 fiesta hub.
With the Calipers, because they are matched to the carriers, nothing needs to be altered as they are both ST150/170 originally.
Just thought I'd mention that because in the post further up you mentioned caliper mounting holes.
No disrespec is meant in anyway

Yeah it seems that way with my callipers.
The callipers arn't touched its just the hun that needs drilling
The bolt hole and size is 12mm where as the hub is only 10mm.

I won't be back home for some time now I'm afraid Si, so can't get you a pic in the near future 
PUREtom - I'd be tempted to try Ford mate. It'd be interesting to know what they cost new!

Its all getting confusing now.
The brakes I have will 100% defo need to have the hubs drilled out to fit.
Yet others said they bolted straight in.
My poor brain...

I can tell you Si, it all just bolted onto mine, as you've seen, and I didn't touch anything. Like I say, the only minor problem is that the outside pad seemed to sit away from the disc, but festaboy didn't have that problem.

This is so wierd.
My car is a MK3 (yes mk3) 16v XR2i.
Maybe I have different hubs to the rust of you f*ckers?
(Even though it uses xr2i lower arms and xr2i suspension. None of this 3.5 rubbish!)

from what ive heard the st150 was going to use 170 brakes but they were just too big and would mean running wheels bigger than they wanted, so they used the same design and made them smaller, it maybe that the early modified ones still used the 170 bolts.
either way drilling out to accept 12mm bolts is no hassle, as long as you have good drill bits, take it carefull, and preferable go up in sizes 1mm or 0.5mm at a time
