Message Here's the version 1's I made up following up on this post: Laz-y-Link

Back of DS spindle, there's a bolt hole above what's left of the dust shield that I can attach a duct to:

Same on PS:

2" AL tubing 1/8" wall... hammered down a bit on one side:

Fit them in below the Wilwood caliper adapter aiming directly at the back of the rotor:

Mark up where I want the tabs welded on:

Welded up and test fit:

K... now to the front to run the ducting... starting at the Powertrix fog light ducts

2.5" silicone 90 deg elbows with 2" ducting hose:

Now, because I have to run the ducting through the undershield, we made a flap either side:

Like so:

Even fits around the engine shield... tucks in nicely:

And clamping onto the ducts:

Tested full lock to lock both in the air and with tires on the ground, ducting doesn't bind up or get crushed although it does contact the bottom of the strut at full lock.

Need to pretty up the rough edges of the shield flaps and go test it on the track...
