Got my front bumper pulled off so I can try this brake ducting. It seems fairly straightforward, but the AP2 ducts design would be a little bit more difficult than the AP1 foglight covers for drilling a hole and attaching a flange. I was considering attaching a duct such as this on the inside of the bumper behind the plastic support and running the ducting through the same place in the fender liner as Rob, but I think the hose may be snaked/kinked too much. What do you guys think?



Something like this if you can see it from my Picasso artwork

 

But wasn't one of your race tires mounted backwards not your street tires. By the way thanks for the offer on the trailer what hitch are you running on your car?

 

clarkster,

I think your cooling ducts would work fine in that location. There's a lot of air pressure on the nose of the car at 70+ mph so you don't have to have a direct shot to the brakes.

 

Rob is correct. I followed his how to for my AP2 and it has worked fine. I now change rear pads more often than front.

 

I was running a square set up with non directional R comp tires, basicaly it was an idiot proof tire set up, so no you can not mount them backwards.

I'll send you a pic of my tire trailer when I get home tonight. My tire trailer is one of those Harbor Freight set up with Chase Race trailer hitch ( http://www.chaserace.com/s2k.php). We have to hook up the trailer hitch first then wire you up for the trailer lights. it will probably take 2 hours to do it.

 

Awesome, thanks! Rob, your tutorials are awesome and very helpful Thank you for assisting the community. I am also considering another alternate mounting location.

Rob, what sort of fasteners (diameter/length) did you use to attach your splitter? How heavy would you estimate it is? I went and looked at a sheet of Alumicore yesterday at the sign store and although it is very sturdy it also was heavier than I was expecting.

 

Hey Matt, are you still considering installing an oil cooler?

 

My plywood splitter is pretty heavy, I would guesstimate about 12 lbs. I don't remember what size fastener I went with. I simply took a stock bottom bumper fastener into a large Ace Hardware. They had the same type fasteners and I went with the next size up diameter and went about 1 inch longer. It's better for them to be too long than too short. Long makes it much easier to start the thread after putting the bolt through the splitter, bottom plastic and front bumper. I also added two fasteners to the rear-center area of the splitter for a little more support.

 

Got any pictures of your setup Lou?

 

clarkster, have you seen this thread on the racing & comp forum on an AP2 brake duct kit?
