[QUOTE="ford20, post: 15119327, member: 140884"] So this weekend I went to go and replace my old brake cooling ducts. They had seen better days that's for sure. The wheel well liners had rubbed up against them for 18k miles (I think. I forget how many miles are on the damn thing) and caused the rubber liner to wear away and caused holes in the ducts which I'm sure isn't that great for brake cooling. [IMG]https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/596/23514241701_abd023a9da_b.jpg[/IMG] New ducts were cut to 35" and I put them in. As you can see, this is why the old ones had been rubbed to nothing. [IMG]https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5802/23301206060_e4bec6b835_b.jpg[/IMG] So I cut the wheel well liner to give ample clearance so that this wouldn't happen again. I need to get some zip ties and zip tie the hoses to the wheel well liners to keep them in place. I have to say though getting them onto the cooling ducts was a major pain in the ass! All nice and new now :clap: [IMG]https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5777/23514242381_1a1f7f27c6_b.jpg[/IMG] I also got my braided clutch line installed as well this weekend. It was a fairly simple and easy thing to do. The little clip by the master cylinder was a pain to get out but still very manageable. Out with the old: [IMG]https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/653/22420236074_23866533d4_b.jpg[/IMG] In with the new [IMG]https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5819/22590755264_e6f63be656_b.jpg[/IMG] I had no idea what the metal surrounding the factory clutch line was so I figured it was either for heat resistance or for abrasion control so to speak so either way I grabbed some gold Heat Tape I had laying around and wrapped the line at the same point as the factory one was wrapped. Who knows if it will help or hurt but I figured why not, what's the worst that can happen. After that I cleaned the engine bay. As you can see, it was not at all pretty.
