Done with the inlets and flanges. Now I just have to add the ducts when they come.

Here's another printed part.
When I put on my Vintage Speed shifter, it exposed an area of carpet with ratty edges that was covered with my old shifter:

So I designed and printed this

Looks and fits good, and does what it's supposed to. I'll prime it and paint it flat black and then install it.

I ran the brake duct on the drivers side tonight. Took a while to figure out the routing, what with checking clearance lock to lock and all. There's not a hell of a lot of space in there, especially with 6" rims and wide tires
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how it's coming out, and it should be functional too.

Putting the hose inlet on the flange

From the front of the car you can tell there's a duct hose connected

Thanks John!
I've been neglecting the car for a while, hadn't really done anything to it in ages. I'm having fun doing some little projects on it now, and still drive it to work often.

Done! I think it looks much better... much more finished.

I also ran the passenger side brake duct, went much faster than the first side.

James, you run that shifter, let me know if you want one, I'll print it out and get it in the mail to you. You could paint it yourself.
