Today I installed a rear brake cooling system. Although not original and really not needed, it still looks pretty cool. First I custom made brackets to mount to the rear uprights and installed 3" flanged bases from Aircraft Spruce. Next, I fabricated a mounting bracket for the inlet and then riveted the same style 3" flanged duct mounts to the housing. The housing is mounted to the frame underneath the pumpkin.

The inlet doesn't hang below the undercar exhaust so I should be ok.

I then installed the 3" ducting then installed a wheel to verify clearance. Perfect. No interference.
