2002 Camaro SS. Does anyone have a good idea and source of parts with which to fabricate some brake cooling ducts? I am looking for stuff you could fabricate or pick up from places like Home depot or Lowes (if possible). Something that is functional and can be done cleanly and affordably. I planned on going thru the openings in the grill (drill out the foam) and run flex tubing from there to the wheel well (cut a hole in the liner) and shoot the air to the rotor. My 295's fill up the wheel well pretty well so positioning will be a little tricky.
Any thoughts? |

My 295's fill up the wheel well pretty well so positioning will be a little tricky. Any thoughts? Laid up a sheet of 1/4" thick fiberglass roughly track width and mounted abs cooling ducts to it. This was secured with large pop rivets to the factory "air dam'. Ran the ducting to severn brake ducts mounted to the hub bolts. The fiberglass piece lowered the bottom of the air dam roughly 3/4" and has worked well for the last 6 years. sorry I don't have any pix at the moment. |

Works great for years! |
