Need some fabrication ideas - how would you mount brake duct?
Need some fabrication ideas/advice.
I am in the process of mounting this bumper - it has square holes for the fog lights and I want to attach my 3 inch brake cooling hoses to the back side of the bumper. (the hoses lead to spindle mounted rotor ducts.) Here are some typical brake duct mounts available from various race supply shops. https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/group.asp?GroupID=DUCTBUMP I am trying to think of a clean way to mount something up to the back of the fog light holes. I have made things up with FG before. Curious if any body has come up with a clever clean solution so I dont have to re-invent the wheel. Initial brain storm is to get one of the square ducts and cut them down to match the contour of the back of the bumper and then FG in some studs to attach it the duct.

maybe I could just glass in some studs and attach this too the back. It would not be flush but not too far from it.

I dont think that will work the opening for the fog light is ~ 6.5" x 4.5" so it needs to be a bit bigger, preferably very flexible.....oh and cheap :-)
