Brake Cooling Ducts 700 1986

Fellow Brickboarders:

I do open-track autocross with my car (Blackhawk and Gingerman). As heavy as it is and as tight as those tracks are, I want to put in some brake cooling ducts. I'll fasten the ducts to the air dam at the foglight openings and run the hose back from there. I don't think there is anything that will attach to the caliper or wheel to direct the air at the rotor, so I will have to point the hose at the front part of the rotor.

If anyone has done this, please give me your suggestions as to the type of hose, mounting points on the chassis, where to aim the end of the hose, how to fasten it, etc.

Thanks,

You may have some trouble due to the dust shields mounted to the back of the rotors.
