DIY - Brake Cooling Ducts

The orientation of the slots on the face does not matter. You should be fine here. What are you using to secure the ducting to the chassis??? On my Z32

On my Z32 Slicktop I used various size Worm Clamps and drilled a hole in them. I used the hole to attach the clamps to the chassis/suspension as needed. I then tightened down the worm clamps to secure the duct piping.

Just a zip tie around the lower section of the shock absorber. So far there have been no issues. But I will monitor the brake ducting for any potential issues.

This is why I like to daily drive my mods for a couple thousand miles before I take them to the track. Fingers crossed...
