I recall 37mm..
The brembo's are pretty wide on the outside...this is the smaller caliper
With a 10mm spacer both calipers clear fine...this is a mockup I did almost 2 years ago, with a subaru rotor. These are close to Fiero specs but have a 57mm centerhole (Fiero 56mm)...1mm too much so useless..
Back to the underbody...and getting closer to the enginebay
need to dust off here !
I dropped the cradle to add the engine
still needs a clutch etc but untill I have all these parts I can put it in and already fabricate the dogbones, coolant lines and wiring routing and lengths...
More done

Working on some enginebay parts...
Got it figured out how to mount the dogbones/strutbar, I will bolt it directly to the driver side strut tower, setup done by welding a nut to the back of the 'endcap' and then welding the cap to the bar
Working on the side panels for the enginebay. I already made the basic shapes last summer but now is the time to make them fit, cut and mod 
Passenger side base

Last friday I had the front hubs done, removing the studs was a 5 minute job with help of an hydraulic press. Then I dropped them off to have them turned down , they got it done the same afternoon. That was a 45min 65 euro job according to the bill, which I think is reasonable
cleaned, prepped, a basecoat of zinc primer and painted with hi-temp paint
testfit
Time to drop the fueltank for paint and a Walbro fuelpump
I will replace most of the old tubing, especially the metal lines after the filter that have rusted inside and caused injector problems in the past |

Hey I will remember that  ..I wasnt sure you still had that job..I may have a request sometime in the future
I found out my main parts supplier has an inhouse machine shop so I gave them a try on the hubs

Made a side pod for the engine fusebox and the 'sparkplugwirerouter'..
Decided to keep it easy, doing it 'yankee style'
Rough product, enough fiberglass to sand smooth. Setting up the layout for the cuts:
Cuts and holes done:
And after some sanding and primer (still needs a little detailing work)
I also got the engine in, this was the only thing that didnt fit but easy to remove..may have to make something custom again I guess :
The engine roughly in place, cradle not bolted down yet :
Check if the left dogbone mount will fit...looks ok
