wingnut Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Anybody out there who did the rear brake duct install by themselves? I replaced my rear control arms prior to getting my 40th done so I got them shipped with all my take off parts. I was curious if you had any pics of the install you did and how you did it. I've got 3 duct parts for each side, no hardware probably fell out of the mangled box of crap they were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even sure they put them in my return parts. Are they the hard plastic pieces? Maybe someone that has theirs installed can take a picture of it for us.

SpeedRacer Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Guys, I had the same problem with my Fiore LCAs. They were fairly easy to install. Each side has 2 pieces. The front vent connects to the underside of the car--you drill into the vent with a 1" hole saw, then use the screw to attach to the car, then plug 1" hole with plug. Next the LCA vent drill 2 1 holes in the vent, then use the metal bracket on the inside of the LCA install the 2 bolts to attach the vent and then plug the holes. Good Luck. Stuart PS - I had to cut down the metal brackets to fit my LCAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500FLYBOY Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 One more pic: Hey Speed - am i seeing this correctly? That looks like the right duct on the left side - and it's upside down. Note the tire channel on the duct. Also - I left the forward duct just outside of the rear duct rather than inside it - so it clears when the car moves up and down. I noticed it would rub and the noise bothered me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
