       Some of the most extensive modifications to
      this car will be to the brake system.  I will use power brakes, rear
      discs, five lug rotors and the emergency brake will be on the drivers
      side.

         In order to fit the brake booster, part of the frame had
        to be cut and relocated.

      | The 3/4" tubing has been
        braced with a piece of tubing underneath.  In the finished car you
        won't even see it.    |

      | With the wide frame tubing at the
        door sill the Fiero emergency brake handle is a tight fit.   |

      | In order to make this work I had
        to fabricate brackets and modify brake cables.  After it was
        completed, it worked pretty well. |

      | With this installation, you end up
        with one very short cable and one long one for the passenger side. 
        Don't worry the tie wrap holding the cable will be "upgraded". |
