Default 1966 Shelby Brake Duct Pictures

Anybody have any pictures of where they are installed (holes cut)?

I found this on a Google search. Does it look correct?

I'm curious to what this may do to the rear rotors when driving in the rain?

LOL thats a good point

i would imagine that would work though, i would try to direct it more on the brakes than the tires like in that picture though

Nothing it wouldn't do during dry weather, rain isn't going to fly through those bends to go hit the rotors any worse than splash back you'd get off the tires/inner wheel well driving normally in the rain. I doubt you'd be getting much water in the hose at all unless it was really pouring hard or with tons of wind because there's a scoop over it anyway, so a little drain hold in the bottom of the scoop should eliminate most problems with water intake.

yeah i doubt the rain is gonna turn and go up and around with out hitting the hose. then it would just probably drain easily out the rear hose

I'm not sure there is an exact. I have seen most vary a little but it seems they favor the lower half of the recessed area. With a split roter I'm not sure they are worth the effort and risk of rusting down the road. I do like the fact that those are made from metal insted of cheap plastic.
