REAR DISK BRAKES
The rear disk brakes are off of a newer Camaro (1998-2002). The calipers, backing plates, and rotors were a simple bolt on. I had to do some fabrication to get the emergency brakes working. I also put the left brake on the right side and the right brake on the left side so that the emergency brake cable can pull from the front instead of the rear. This means that the calipers are to the rear of the axle instead of the front but it should still work the same.

Hydraulic Master Cylinder Installation
I started by filling the hole underneath the brake master cylinder.
I also had to cut an area open for the clutch master cylinder.

There was a little flex in the bracket and it looked a bit sloppy so I filled between the firewall and the brcket with metal to make it look more like it was stamped into the firewall.
behind the firewall for added strength.
I also closed up the hole around the steering column some. I made a plate that bolts to the firewall and welded it to the steering column. The location of the reservoir is only temporary.
Clutch petal was gusseted and hole drilled.
I had to drill another hole because first wasn't quite right.

Fuel Tank Modifications
I made a sheet metal box out of 18 gage steel. It was made out of a flat sheet, then folded and MIG welded together.
