If they can be made for 308mm discs I might be interested saves me coming up with my own kit...

Foxy has emailed me to say there's some interest in brake cooling ducts. I don't visit the site that often, although I still have my VXT. Although I have other projects on the go, I'm prepared to make as many kits as required. Any one interested just post a reply and I'll monitor the topic. Regards, Paul

 

Hi Paul ,

 

Could i get a set of reducers from you ?

They were missing in the kit i've received ... but i'm ready to pay for them + shipping

 

Thank you  

[jhinchy]

I'd be tempted for a set for standard brakes. Any installed pics?

[techieboy]

You can't see anything when they're installed. Well apart from the lack of chav lights on the front of the car.

[Acidpopstar]

No chav lights on mine anyway so may as well make use of the empty hole...

[VXT Tim]

Does anyone have any pictures of how the duct is connected to what was the fog light holes?

[techieboy]

Ducting is fitted to a fibreglass reducer/adapter that is bonded to the return edges of the fog light recesses.

 

The two kind of bell shaped black things at the top centre of the pic

 

 

Small bit of mesh/filter is inserted into the fat end of the reducer, the fat end then slips over the fog light recess return and is bonded in place with Tigerseal/whatever. You can't really see anything once it's all fitted - other than a lack of fog lights. The reducer is hidden between the clam and the rad shroud.

[VXT Tim]

So they are bonded on, cheers Matt. I don't suppose anyone has just the reducers up for grabs? Matt you must have at least 6 of these kits, no?

Fcuk that. The pain of removing the fog lights and fitting the reducers first time around means that was a one time deal.

[VXT Tim]

Don't tell me that. Headlights removed it must be a doddle

[FLD]

Its not hard, just techie whining.

[mbes2]

Quicker to remove the front clam to fit

 

its never that foggy anyhow... who needs fog lights

[techieboy]

Its not hard, just techie whining.

Yeah. Removing the fog lights and their brackets through the headlight aperture is a piece of p*ss isn't it? Nothing like the worlds hardest games of tetris. Even more fun getting a source of heat in there to shrink the heatshrink that joins the ducting to the reducer.

[techieboy]

Quicker to remove the front clam to fit

Definitely not any slower doing it that way, that's for sure.

Ooooooooh, sandy!

More like terminal moraine, actually.

Does anyone know if these are still available or is there anything similar on the market? I could make my own reducers and run some hose but would like to get the shrouds if possible?

I already had, I was waiting for a reply and being impatient  

 

He said he's going to start producing some more early 2016.
