LOF is correct on the rotors. I just usually put in 2000 mustang cobra for searching, there very common and cheap. I am going to purchase a full set of two piece rotors from full tilt boogie racing to complete the brake package and be done. Withe the FD booster I just installed these should be the final piece to the puzzle.
These brackets might be available in the near future but I need to finish speaking with a certain person before offering them.I have received several pm's about them already. I will keep you guys apprised of the situation.
Bruce's (FTBR) rotors are killer. You will like them if you have not used them already.
Also their 4 piston brake caliper piston tool is really nice for quick pad changes.
Did they do the brackets for you?

Yeah there rotors look the piece and are a good price for the set.
No he did not make them, I built the front and rear brakes myself as well as pretty much everything else on the car. Thats half the fun for me and somewhat a problem since I end building/re-building things more than I drive it haha.

1 small critique...
Those crimp connectors on the fuel pump. Replace those with glue shrink ones if you can!
Looks great though, I'm jealous of your fuel tank cover!

Nice work!! Did you just use the OEM tank access cover gasket?
For the fuel pump connectors visit a local hobby shop and get some Deans Ultra plugs for RC cars. They are a great high current connector.
They look like this:

Thanks guys! I actually have those connectors for my son's Traxxis cars haha never thought about using them. I was trying to find a milspec style connector or at least a quick connector for the access cover but couldnt find a small one so i just used the original rubber grommet and some spade connectors. Not a problem to change them if you guys know of a nice 5 wire connector meant for at least 30 amps. At the very least ill go back and put some heat shrink ones on it and those connectors since I have a bag of them.
LOF - The gasket for the aluminum plate on the pump assembly is the OE gasket. The seal i used on the access cover I made is a rubber door edge gasket that is like a 1/16" thick and i also under coated the inside of the cover for sound control.

Well I gogogo'd as best I could but couldn't quite get it finished this weekend. Should be ready to fire next weekend barring any unforseen issues.
Finished getting all the plumbing done, re-wrapped the harness and extended it for what sensors that were relocated. Flushed the fuel lines. Fab'd up a throttle cable bracket. Had to make a small relocation bracket for teh drivers side rear coil - the new FD booster gets in the way. Mounted and plumbed the trans mission cooler. Shimed and aligned all the pulleys and brackets, gotta love the gates laser align for this job.
Still need to fill all the fluids, bleed the clutch, install the exhaust and put the interior back together so Blake knows the logicon and wipers work
plus give it a good bath and polish everything back up.
