Default Who's installed 993 brake cooling ducts on a 911?
I picked up a new set of these fins yesterday to put on my SC and am wondering how best to attach them to the A-arms. I think Marc used some U-brackets, but I'm having a hard time picturing how they'd fit. Will zip ties do it? Anyone have some photos? Thanks.

if you search for my "nose hair" pic, you may get a glimpse. basically, I used 5 or 6 zip ties around the arm, threaded through holes drilled in the deflector.

Richard,

This is a pretty easy solution and would work fine. Only suggestion (and made this to dave when it was up on the lift) was to have the thick end of the zip tie on the back side of the channel to make sure the air flow was nice and smooth. Its a nice piece and will be on my car this week.
