Now that the paint has cured, my custom fuel pump bracket is ready for installation. Now I just need to run the pump under a brass wire wheel to clean it up and install it. After that I will hook up some fuel lines and install the fuel filter. Most of the bolts down here are 6mm, so I think I will pick up a few extras at the hardware store later.

After a lot of wrestling I have finished installing the calipers and rotors on the Fiat. Some of my major issues were putting the wrong caliper bracket bolts on the front end. They are longer than the front so they touched the rotor. That obviously wouldn't do. A few other issues I had dealt with placement of the caliper bracket springs as well as getting the wedges positioned in the right place. It turned out I need to use a bit more elbow grease to get them on. I also learned that assembling your caliper bracket, caliper and pads on the work bench is the easiest. Once that is done, you can slip the whole unit over the rotor and bolt it on the car. Here are some photos for you to enjoy. You can see the assembly on the bench as well as on the car. Now it is time to clean up the garage, pull the car out into the driveway and order some extra hose to finish off the brake system. Stay tuned. |
