Early SPF cars had the openings in the body for ducts, but nothing connected. The "build kit" came with 2 fiberglass funnels you could glue into place and run a hose off them for the brakes. Later on, they began adding the funnels and tubing at the factory and had them plumbed to the footboxes for foot cooling. I have seen people run the hose to their brakes for cooling. They usually just use nylon tie-wraps to hold the hose to the lower control arm. The tires do rub the hose a little bit, so after a while, you cut the hose a few inches shorter and re tie it to the control arm. Very crude but somewhat effective.
