Check your rear brake duct mounting screws! Loctite is your friend.

Same design as 997gt3. They get lost. Add to your consumables cost. Or use less brake and Psm FF off so not needed.
Curb, off track expeditions, etc.... they get bumped and foot off. I see one on track Nearly every track day

I checked my brake duct screws today while doing a trial wheel/tire fit. There actually was evidence of a purple thread locker at the very top of the threads however, once the screw broke loose, there was no resistance on the way out. I cleaned the threads and used Blue thread locker. Thanks for the tip John.

I wrote my name on the backs in addition to zip ties (ha ha)...will do the fronts too now... Johnsopa: get a big black sharpie and put your last name on that yellow tape! You will be thanking me...

I recently did another trial wheel fit. The leading edge of the RH lower duct was broken off. Otherwise, the duct was intact. The rear zip tie was gone. Looks like something to check every time the wheels are off.

Just saw this thread- checked mine and lost bottom half of rear duct on drivers side. $88 to Suncoast and zipties. Agree, if this is a two-piece part with the bottom half designed to break away why not offer that as a separate part??

Remember Ford made a deliberate decision that it was cheaper to pay lawsuits for negelance and death of Pinto owners than spend .90 per car for a shorter bolt that wouldn't puncture the gas tank on a rear end collision. Carl
