Brake cooling ducts

Hi, and sorry to crash the thread.
If anyone who bought ducts from me has them fitted, could you let the board and me know how you found them in terms of fitting and effect?
I'd rather all the positive reviews didn't come from me ( but I found them to be a boon on the track, as well as saving a fair amount of cash in terms of pad material use).
I don't think I have any more kicking around, I really never intended to sell a lot.
Thanks All,
Graham

I think the ducts you made were really good. The angle of the pipe outlets might have been better if they were a little straighter as I think the hoses would be easier to route then, but that's only minor and could just be because of the route I chose for the hoses.
I've finished mine off by bonding some black mesh over them too so leaves and other bits can't get into the hoses.

It may be worthwhile speaking to fiberworx down in Devon, he may be able to knock something up... it would be nice to support someone in this country.
I'll see if I can get hold of him via FB and report back.

The chap from Fiberworx has said that he is able to make some of these ducts up. Although he would need a bumper from which to mould so if anyone has a spare facelift bumper in the devon area that would be appreciated.
The question was asked if people would rather have them fitted behind the bumper or have them fitted to the front of the bumper (nice little bit of carbon on show no doubt)

I would be happy with something similar to what wasp offer, nice and subtle!
I'm after them purely for function on track so not too worried about carbon etc, but as long as the price is right I'm easy
Unfortunately I'm in Scotland so can't help with a bumper!

I think they'll actually be easier to bond in place if they're in behind the bumper and they don't have to be as neat.
I'm wondering if we might be able to get a bumper on loan from a breaker or something.

I would prefer it to be rear mounted still, I'm not into shiney mods for the sake of it and would rather keep it more subtle
Sadly I use mine daily so cant offer my bumper
