alright, finally got around to coding some of this shit, for all of you to see.(and i'm still lazy, pasted code from thread on HT)
Alright, some of this is a bit of a repeat, but here's some pics of my brake ducting that has been a work in progress for quite some time.
Many thanks go out to RR98ITR (from HT.com) for providing me with the steel backing plates cut to approximate dimensions as a great starting point.
getting down to the details:

MY angry face after sweating like a fat kid last night to take these pics:
Proof of me sweating like a fat kid... and my nuts:
alright, if you can't tell... i got a bit overzealous and threw a couple coats of paint on there before final fitment was finished...
they're still not finished, stuff rubs here and there and will need to be massaged by a big fucking hammer to fit better.
some of the pics show how damn tight it is in there, and the pain in the ass it is to get ducting to the right place.
Ducting used is 2" in diameter, and frankly, it's a bit too large... oh well.
Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you.... you're cool..... AND FUCK YOU I'M OUT!!!!!! for now at least...
I'll get some pics when everything gets put back together and track tested. damn, dunno when that's going to be though.
