Message Not trying to be sarcastic, but they aren't that hard. Look at pics of SPL's ducts installed, look at pics of the stock brake duct size, shape and mounting points.

Use sheet metal (material and thickness up to you) in a bench vice for straight bends. Mount with at least two mounting points that prevent the ducts from twisting due to airflow, and go for a drive. Someplace quiet with bumps and places to make turns. You will want to test at full lock, going over bumps and also decreasing radius turns that take you to full lock. Go slow so you can back off the turn if you hear scraping. If it rubs on the rims or body, cut or bend as necessary.

Unique (Aus), SPL and OEM carry ducts that are similar products but show different designs.

[insert humorous non-offensive copying product joke here]
