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.

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me, particularly considering that even if the air coming off the cooler is 215 degrees, it would be "diluted" with somewhat cooler air in the trunk and then ducted towards your brakes which will certainly be far more than the 180 degree air providing some air flow/cooling.
