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: Attachment: 20170825_230926.jpg [ 5.72 MiB | Viewed 169 times ] So I designed and printed this Attachment: 20170825_230900.jpg [ 3.42 MiB | Viewed 177 times ] Test fitting in the car Attachment: 20170825_231024.jpg [ 4 MiB | Viewed 183 times ] 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 Attachment: 20170826_220237-1008x756.jpg [ 138.82 KiB | Viewed 182 times ] Routing under the fender Attachment: 20170826_225820-1008x756.jpg [ 164.34 KiB | Viewed 166 times ] From the front of the car you can tell there's a duct hose connected Attachment: 20170826_225902-1008x756.jpg [ 188.72 KiB | Viewed 158 times ] I'll do the other side tomorrow. |

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. Attachment: 20170827_174813-1008x756.jpg [ 120.09 KiB | Viewed 180 times ] Attachment: 20170827_192533-1008x756.jpg [ 226.18 KiB | Viewed 167 times ] I also ran the passenger side brake duct, went much faster than the first side. |
