Default AP2 Bumper for Brake Duct Development

Anyone in Orlando have an extra AP2 Bumper lying around? Or have one that's off the car.

I just need to grab some measurements.

I'm making some brake duct adapters for the AP2 tracks guys to match the ones I made for my AP1.

Thanks guys!

Is your car your daily driver? Any way I can borrow it for a week or so?

not a daily, it is a fully caged car, not exactly street legal

I'll let you keep the first set if you help me develop these

Those are the 2.5" ducts I made for my AP1

On the white example, above, the retaining lip in the outlet should not be at the end of the outlet. Rather, it should be at least 1-2 centimeters in from the end. That will permit mounting of the duct, itself, to the outlet before it meets resistance of the bulge. As it shows, the mounting resistance happens immediately.

Just my 2¢..........

Not sure what you mean. Right now there is .75" length at 2.5"OD before it steps to 2.625". I've tugged on the duct and it's not going anywhere.

It's not "coming off" that I'm concerned with at all. It's putting it on that's the hard part especially laying on the tarmac in the race track paddock. You need a 3/8 to 1/2" lead-in before the hump to mount the duct before you try to force it over the hump.

You will see what I speak of on the outlet to this bumper duct, below.
