Another day another setback

OK, not really, but still.  Today I found out that Z32 brake bolts are longer than S13/S14, so Z32 spindles must be helluva lot thicker.  Not good, need to go back and order right ones, I tried taking them from the donor car, but they looked like they would be trouble.    While at Nissan, I need to get some diff bolts/nuts for the 6bolt axles (again 5hole z32 diff uses bigger bolts - DOH!!).
Now onto the good news, Vin came through and fabbed up the throttle cable bracket, and shit looks sweet.  Vin connected most of the brake hard lines, and I wanted to get all the calipers install, but I could only do the rear.  It seems that I also forgot the front caliper hardware I have at my garage (double DOH!).  The power steering line needed some more trimming and few tricks in routing so that its not next to the header, nor so its rubbing on anything.  And since the clutch bracket was the wrong size for the Wilwood clutch master cylinder, Vin fabbed up a new one.  

Overall there was progress so I'm happy.
