Default Brake duct backing plates

One of the previous owners of my car put in some nice brake ducting from the front to the rotors. However, the hoses are just attached to the front struts, there aren't any brake duct backing plates that the hoses are attached to.

Anyone have any suggestions of where I can get proper duct backing plates so the air truly gets to the rotor/caliper like I want?

like this? Broadfoot Racing or you might see if LR has some - same stuff but LR has been having problems getting stuff from him. The above ducts attach here:


you can place some brake air ducts (www.pegasusautoracing.com) up front without taking a lot of air from the radiator.

So with these ducts, you need to remove the dust sheilds right? Also, how do you attach the inlet side of the ducts? Are they jsut zip tied to the openings from the front valance or do you need additional work?

Here is a question (not to high jack this thread) but does anyone offer a half brake duct / half driving light set up that would go into the 951s driving light recess? There is plenty of room with only half the thing being taken up by an active light?

the ones in the pictures, actually have a sheet metal screw through them with a small washer on both ends; tie wraps were just holding on during trail fit. I did use tie wraps around the strut and the sway bar bracket.

As far as the front, bought a 6x4, 3" opening, brake duct from Pegasus.
