mikeyb10supra Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 What have people used to do this?? im thinking I might get mine done this weekend as ive uncovered two massive leaks in 2 intercooler couplings so ordered some mikalor clamps and going to fit them all over the weekend along with the bigger couplings!! I thought while the bumper was off I may as well sort out the ducting whille I am there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 carbon sheet fancy pants its a bugger to cut though, what do you use to cut it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 We made some parts for a member of the MLR out of an aluminium composite that we use. It's 3mm thick and can be bent if you router it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 1mm ally sheet. If you're careful (and have a strong grip) you can cut it to shape with a sharp stanley knife. Easy to bend into shape too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 fancy pants its a bugger to cut though, what do you use to cut it For a job like that I'd probably use a diamand saw or a bonesaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Expanding foam, aluminium sheet, rubber sheet, fibreglass and various nuts, bolts, pop rivets etc etc.......a wise modification and one that I definitely could feel a difference with on either a hot or a cold day. It'll probably take you a while and you'll probably have the bumper on and off several times to get things perfect but it will be worth it. The top and bottom are easy, it is the sides that ae more tricky. I spent time sealing mine to the bumper aperature and then also to the radiator behind it as well.

colsoop Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Start off with cardboard to create the various sections of the ducting. When you are happy with the fit transfer to aluminium sheet - nice and easy to manipulate to shape and cut. I would also get some black foam (similar to the stiff Toyota use for the gap between the rad and the front slam panel) Use that for any areas that sheet metal isn't practical.

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Plastic sheet from a model shop, works really well also easy to shape with a bit of heat, made my bumper under tray with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
