Gonna be working on this soon. I have a decent idea, of what I want to do on the rear.
The front I see as more challenging.
If you've done brake ducting for your car, I'd like to see your pics

Thanks

I was able to run the air into and out of the frame to give me the clearance needed. Then used a standard style hat to push the air into the rotor. Randy

I know you didn't ask for this but (maybe for others to read), I'd only look at adding ducting if you find you have an excessive heat problem to start with. Most of the cars built here with large rotors rarely get into higher temps, making ducting a bad thing.

More along the lines of your question, I've seen a couple Porsche GT3 cars that have a plastic scoop attached to the LCA which ducts it into the rotor's general area. I'd look into something like that, much easier than a hose.

Thanks, great pics, and nice idea about the frame. My frame, I cannot cut like that, though. Still good ideas there

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, as the routing of a duct hose, in my car -through the A frame, and under the front apron, might end up being more restrictive, than something , such as you're suggesting.
