My blue ones are silicone

Kev,

More pictures please of LW splitter and BP undertray overlap please.

It looks like LW splitter is deep enough to overlap the front of air ducts which for me is ideal.

Cheers

BP
Traveling to Europe this week but I'll try to get some pics for you next week. It does overlap the front of the ducts.

Please explain, I didn't get what the benefit is with the silicone/rubber adapter between hose and carbon shield? Other than if you happen to have a thinner hose of course.


I mounted the Lightweight kit last week, it is a bit low, has touched ground a few times already. Looking to tweak...

Diameter of the brake hose is smaller than the inlet for the backing plate.

Do you happen to know what size diameter the piping outlet is? Looking at using this instead of the Lightweight scoops since I've had a lot of issues with them.

I installed the Lightweight kit but the scoops do touch the tarmac from time to time. So I've designed and 3D printed a pair of scoops to mount on the suspension like before. I'll publish the 3D files needed to print once I've tested them. Mounting them on the car tomorrow.

A quick job in Fusion360 and printed on my cheap China 3D printer:

3D printed scoops. These are optimized to work on a daily/trackday car. I hope I've gotten a balance between mounted high up enough to work in all sorts of daily conditions but also get a lot of free air. Last year I ran with a simpler solution (no hose) mounted exactly there just blowing on the caliper and it helped a lot. This should be a step up with the hose and all.

(print one as is and print one mirrored)

Fantastic work, thanks! Where do you find the brake backing plates with hose inlets and the actual hose? Now I just need to get my hands on a 3D printer...

Nice work

In the 1st photo what have you used to secure 3D scoop to lower control arm ?

Kev,

More pictures please of LW splitter and BP undertray overlap please.

It looks like LW splitter is deep enough to overlap the front of air ducts which for me is ideal.

Cheers

BP
Traveling to Europe this week but I'll try to get some pics for you next week. It does overlap the front of the ducts.
Hi Kev - how was the Euro trip ? If still ongoing I guess I'm going to have to wait some more for photos of LW splitter paired with BP-E under tray. BP
