Brake Ducts

Some more photos...
The finished and painted air inlets:
Final fitment of the air duct:
The air duct is quite close to the speed sensor ( I designed it this way):
This is an above image of the hub. You can see that the air duct is very close to the horizontal part of the hub (as I wanted):
I have a small issue because the bolt for the air inlet are app 3.5mm from the discs. Do you suspect any issues because of this?

Guess not. :wink:
On the other hand, if you'd use rivets you not just save space,
there also wouldn't be any chance left to lose a nut (and bolt).

Top advice!
I might just do that.... Although, this way I can still take the part off... Not sure yet which way to go.
Anyway, top advice! :notworthy:

Work continues:
The air inlet will be painted black but this not the final form (I have to trim it a little bit).
The position of the air inlet is not in the middle because I plan to use another air inlet for the Cold Air Intake (left side of the car) and, maybe, for a oil cooler (right side of the car).
MattR32T:
Nice work here Rex.
On my car I've removed dust shields and removed all arch liners and under tray and opened the side grills fully allowing a massive increase in air flow to the whole area. Ducting needs to flow to both sides of disc equally was my understanding as you wouldn't want one side cooler than the other.
Look forward to your end results
