ABOVE:Now the real fun began! I love it when I get to use power tools to cut up my car! :)

ABOVE:The Sawzall really went through the backing plate quickly. I had to be careful not to cut into the hub. I stopped frequently to see how close I was getting. I cut both sides as close to the hub as I could.

ABOVE:Next I undid the 4 bolts that hold the backing plate up against the hub. A box end wrench works nicely for this. I pulled the plate away from the hub and used a Dremel with a cutting tool to cut as much as I could on both sides.

ABOVE:I couldn't get the Dremel to cut it all the way through without going into the hub, so I just wiggled it back and forth 4 or 5 times and it came apart on its own.

ABOVE:I painted the hub up nice and pretty so the project would look nice when it is done.

ABOVE:The bracket from Modern Motorsports bolted right into the existing holes that the backing plate bolted to. The fasteners were even included in the purchase price so I didn't have to go searching for metric bolts.

ABOVE:This is basically what it looks like when it is done. I still hadn't hooked up the braided stainless steel brake lines that I got from Modern Motorsports when I took this picture, but that is pretty much what it looks like. Although, my calipers are really red not orange. I don't know why the camera did that.

ABOVE:In order to make room for the emergency brake cable I first routed the stainless steel brake cable using the brackets from the hard line that I removed. I had to cut the rubber isolator down for the new line to fit.

ABOVE:The 240SX caliper has a tail like bracket that the ebrake cable hooks up to. I cut the old hard line bracket off of the frame to give a little more room for the 240SX bracket since I didn't needed the old one anymore.

ABOVE:This is the ebrake adaptor that Modern Motorsports sells. I suppose I could have made this part myself, but this one is nice because it comes already drilled to the right dimensions and includes all the connecting hardware. It is also nicely plated to match the rest of the parts.

When I went to hook up the ebrake cables to the caliper, the cable was way too long. It stuck out of the wheel well. A quick email to Modern Motorsports (their customer service is great) and I found out that if you switch the cable sides the lengths come out to be just about perfect. So, I moved the left cable over to the right and the right over to the left, switched the little springs that hold the cables up by hooking them to the floor of the car and everything lined up.

ABOVE:This is what the ebrake cable looks like when it is all hooked up. You can see how the adapter plate works.

Oh, and no car project is complete without a beautiful female. :)
