An entirely enjoyable and engaging movie. We who follow these motor-sport events will devour this film. About time this was a movie. Now I am waiting for "bury my heart at wounded knee".

Tomorrow night - FORD vs FERRARI - be there or be square

The transition to round fits the cooling plates on the spindle directing air directly into the rotor center. The vintage set up blows the air across into the general area. The racers use the hose set up, which I adopted. The oval ducts, more aligned with the original, will slip onto my apron ducts, and will be my next set up. Now, cooling plates or no cooling plates, that is the next decision.

....too much fun, enjoyed the view...

I plan to go to the 9:30 pm showing at the Orland Park Marcus, which has reserved seating, recliners, big screen.  The date is Thursday, November 14.

Two different brake cooling duct transitions that fit the transition off the apron. The round one requires a section of hose and the cooling plates that route the air to the center of the rotor. Cobra Automotive has those parts. Earl's photo (very cool) shows a riveted hold down bracket on the original duct. I never thought they would be necessary until I had these ducts slip apart a SAAC 39 open track. There is a pretty tight fit with these parts, (only the right side came apart) but I'm guessing the amount of air pressure made the brackets necessary.

.....man I wish this movie was out.....

The transition duct to the brake is not shown and comes in two configurations and are interchangeable as they slide on. Pics to follow, Basically one is direct to the brake with hose and the other is full size, runs the rail and turns toward to brake. Again, pics to follow,

you are mistaken

Check out Tony Conover in Hanover, PA. for the valance and the ducts. Shelby Parts has the brake cooling parts as well. You need cooling plates on the brakes to make this all work. Or you could just buy my car and be done...

Jim at Shelby Parts has the cooling ducts that do not tie directly to the cooling plates. Again, the cooling parts I am discussing here are the oval style - outboard of the frame rail.

I can get you all the pictures you want of this set up.

Kind regards,
