I had a sheetmetal shop make two rectangular boxes with a hole/sleeve on the back. I attached them to the brake vents buy cutting two slots where the nose body bolts on. You loosen these bolts up and slide(jam) the 'boot' in then retighten the bolts. It works great. I also used the aluminum dryer vent hose. It not only is flexable and shiny but it can lengthen and shorten as desired. The hose is a little larger in dia. than the tube sticking out the vent box but just snip into it about an inch then cinch down with large hose clamps. I routed the hose into the front of the foot box. There I used the 'wood chip valve' with a heavy duty choke cable setup. To make the cable work I had to cut a 2" piece of 11/2" x 11/2" alum angle and rivet it to the foot box end. This is where you attach the clamp that holds the cable outer sleeve from moving. Iam planning to add the computer fans shortly.( been busy with 2 major car shows). Also I hole sawed the wheel splash guard about an inch from the top. This allows the rubber bulb some room. It is a very simple and easy to install system. If any of the accessory mfg. people are interested I will send them drawings and all info to complete so they can add it to their catalogue. Hope this helps, Don
