I'm thinking of making a brake cooling duct with the air that goes through my front-mounted oil cooler and running hoses into the wheel wells, but don't know where to start. Does anyone have any designs or pics of their brake cooling ducts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok...
sorry if we all jumped on you.
if you just want to duct your extra air towards your brakes that is fine..

won't hurt a thing.

but will not technically be brake duct/cooling.
most of the brake ducts use a special aluminum or plastic hat that is fitted to force air through the vented rotor from the inside out. and since space is at a premium in there and the steering still needs to have room to turn, these special hats are made to fit, and be as small as possible.

can't seem to find/get a picture at the moment.
