Here is my version of what the brake cooling ducts should be on the 07 & 08 GT500
I used a 2-5/8” ID ( 2-7/8 OD) aluminum tube and cut it to match the existing angle of the front grille. Then made a flange out of 1/8” Aluminum and welded it to the tube .Next I sanded and polished the flange .
After drilling a 3” hole where the existing factory ducts are I inserted the new inlet duct from the front side.
I then fabbed a backing plate to again match the grill angle and hold the tube in place.
Now I installed the brake cooling backing plates that I purchased from (Bruce) ac427Cobra @ SVTP
These are designed to direct cool air to the inside of the rotor to cool both the rotor and the bearings.
Next I installed the new 3” hoses from the from inlet to the new backing plates.
The 3" hoses fit perfectly on the new inlet tubes
(Note :: the only thing I still have to do is to install an inlet debris screen inside the new tube which plan to do shortly.)
(This required a lot of time to do and is not something that I could or would do again in the future as a service . I just posted it to share it with everyone.)
