Today I managed to "close the circuit"!
This is the front bumper seen from behind. You can see the 2 air inlets mounted:
And a close up with the left side (there is an additional hole for the Cold Air Intake, that has to be fitted but I ran out of air inlets):
And a close up with the right side:
Below are shots from the front.
The right side with the cover (the cover is black as the rest but because light from the flash bounces off it, it appears to be different)
And with the brake ducts "active":
Left side (again with the cover):
And the left side without the cover:
I also checked for clearance on both sides and this is the final setup with no rubbing no matter the steering angle (hope I did not speak too soon):
Right side:
Left side:
So, I am just about done, but I am very curious to see if (and what) effect this has on the track.
And to draw some conclusions:
1. it is very difficult to find a path for the brake vent (between the drive shaft, control arm, brake hoses, etc).
2. the air inlets attached to the dust shield and to the fog grille are pretty simple and, if you want a similar solution the photos above will be conclusive. If these are not enough I made some drawings of the parts and I will send them to you.
3. I hope all this work is not in vane and this actually works on the track!
And I also hope this topic helps anyone who wants a similar method to cool the brakes.
All the best!
