Here are some shots of the brake ducting at the rotor. They bolt right up to an existing hole on the spindle. I think they are going to work fine but a final test when the car is on the ground will tell for sure.
Some high heat black paint will finish them off!

I have the inner panels in and the holes drilled for all of the 3 inch hose.
I think I have a way to make the brake cooling more efficient and the fresh air duct air cooler. Instead of pulling the brake duct air from the original position, I think I am going to pull the brake cooling from the radiator area where I was planning to pull the fresh air. This will give me the clearance I need and address the concern early in the Part I build thread about the temperature of the air pulled from in front of the radiator.

Don't know how much air you are going to get behind the radiator without a fan. NASCAR has their brake duct hose going to the lowest point in front of the car. Even if it's 140 degree track temp, that is cooler than the surface of the rotor. A little heat actually helps, don't it? Also, I see a lot of bends, best to keep the hose as straight as possible.

Where did you get the brake duct tubes mounted to the sindle area?

Dean, you'll have to run the fresh air hose above where you've got the brake cooling inlet. Another option is to use the a brake duct piece that has two outlets. I don't have a link to those on this computer, but I have seen them. Just be sure to keep the hose very tight to the fender panel. I'm running the same hose as you and even though I ran it very tight to the fender liner, I do get some wheel rub.
Looking good!
Matt

Yep, I misread the post Larry regarding where the fresh air will be coming in.
