I plan on testing your t-top theory now that my 1988 Mera water leak is fixed and on the road. It has a 1996 Northstar V8 with auto trans in it.

Yes, something like that. What are those pieces of hardware shown with the rotors?

To run larger rotors with the stock calipers, you have to space the caliper out from the rotor center. The flat brackets with 4 holes move the calipers out to accept the 13" rotors vs 10 1/2" stock.
The rotors come from another application which uses a larger center bore for alignment to the hub. To keep the rotors properly centered on the smaller fiero hub, concentric rings are required to fill the gap.
The other two smaller parts are to extend the passenger side parking brake cable.
Bolts are needed to attach everything.
Sandpaper is provided to clean the rust off the hubs where the concentric rings fit.[This message has been edited by fieroguru (edited 02-27-2020).]

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the info, I truly appreciate it.

So I finally got the wheels mounted after the wheel stud fiasco.
Next, I'll be installing the homelink mirror. Can anyone suggest a fairly easy place to tap into accessory power?

What make of wheels did you buy? Size and offset please.

Something like this 13" brake rotor kit?
13" rotor upgrade that allows you to retain the stock calipers, parking brake and parking brake cables. It is a bolt on installation w/o any other modifications to the upright or a-arms for proper clearance. It does require 17" wheels, use with lowering ball joints is not recommended due to interference issues, and longer braided stainless steel brake hoses are typically used as well.

Are the rotors drilled to the Fiero bolt pattern?

Not for their OEM application,
Yes, when purchased as part of my brake kit.
I have also posted a DIY thread on how you can drill them yourself as well.
