Location: Meuspath		Has anyone fitted brake ducts to their tro?

Looking in particular for how the ducting joins at the hub. I've had a quick look today and space looks very tight. Any pictures would be great

I've got it all worked out in my head!

By my reckoning it will all need to be custom made to fit my discs behind my particular wheels.
Would probably have a servo activated flap so they only cool when needed too.

Location: Jelling, Denmark		this is the solution I would make, a-series ofcourse:

I would take the metro turbo ducts and rivet them to the under side of the front in each side. A set of standard brake shields and cut a round hole in the front of the brake shelds and weld a metal tube in with the same diameter as the turbo brake ducts and connect them with a flexi-hose which I would zip tie probably to the anti-roll bar.

Location: Meuspath		The turbo ducts are part of the bumper though are they not? How does the ducting run to the disc?

My thoughts were to run to a hole cut in the brake shield although I can't see how to route the ducting for adequate cooling. There doesn't seem to be enough space without it getting destroyed by something

the turbo ducts are riveted onto the front spoiler which has ducting in it, but this ducting in the front spoiler looks quite restrictive so I would just drill the riviets and place the ducts underneath the front sticking out slightly. in my experience the ducts are not connected with the wheels normally but ends like this.

Location: Meuspath		Thanks.

I see the a series hub is completely different. I imagine that duct does not cool the brakes one bit

yes the front hub and lower arm is completely different. the upper arm is quite similar.

no the cooling effect I would imagine is small
