Il take some messurments for the inside of the brake discs to see the diameter to make it a snug fitt.

Note if this hasn't been confirmed:

These are not intended to be hooked to brake hose going to an inlet on the front of the car... they are mean to draw from flowing air under the car and "high pressure" area in the wheel well.

Just an FYI, those are Crocked Willow brake ducts and he probably wouldn't be happy with someone copying his design (at least thats what he said the last time someone tried to do this). A good change would be to make them attach to hoses so people who track their cars can use them.

Far as I know Crooked Willow is no more and I haven't seen ANY of these for sale new until now. Also, I don't think he has a patent on the design. If he is selling them, I wish he would let all of us know...but I doubt it.

If you were to connect the hoses will it interfere with the wheels turning?

I just installed these with my AP Racing (M2) BBK... here are some pics. I would definitly be interested in an adapter for a 3" hose.

now that i looked at some pictures i don't think its possible to connect hoses bc there are too many moving objects and i don't know how much clearance i have.

Also the duct is faced towards the front and after adding a adapter and hose i think it would hit the the rim/tire.

So im just going to stick with how it is originally and add something(don't know yet) to it so its not a exact copy of crooked willow.

I would have it taper into a 3" round inlet (instead of a rectangle) and have it come out at an angle (maybe 40 to 45 degrees) instead if facing it to the front... That way it would definitly work with a hose.

That is the shape i would have wanted it too. Makes it so much easier for the BBK and ducting.

These were never intended to have hose. You'd be better off just copying a set that is.
