Brake cooling ducts - 390/400/450?
Discussion
The 390 had them and some piping that sort of went close! Ended up putting ducts in the bib spoiler underneath and routing the pipework upwords to the callipers.

I have some pics from the previous owner of my 390 that show the corrugated ducts and the extra air dam underneath, but the dam has gone (you can see the screw holes!) and it looks like it's had a new rad, cos it's so wide it partially obscures the intakes in the front spoiler, hence the ducting is missing.

I saw the manual in my local TVR dealer and the bodywork page showed them on one of the schematics.
Wedg1e- Have you got a digital photo you could send me?
Reason i ask is that i'm going to do as many trackdays as a/ the noise limits allow (i can forget goodwood!)
and b/ the time i have available
this year and wanted to fit some brake cooling. I'd like to see how it was originally done?
SHpub- Im sure id like to see how you did it, have you got an example photo too
Cheers

It's not worth getting excited over, the duct can just be seen curving under the front spoiler. Not much to see, just enough to make out the fact that it was there and now it isn't! Same with the chin spoiler really.
My guess is the duct was just a length of corrugated hose (black in this pic), cable-tied to the flange of the orifice in the front dam, led back around the wheelarch and tied to the bottom wishbone with, perhaps, some kind of vacuum cleaner nozzle to aim the air at the brakes... :-D Typical TVR thing, really...
I'm after some AP 4-pots as an upgrade, I think it may be more effective... mind you I also want to rebush the whole suspension, do something with the dampers (I tried to get rebuild kits from Koni but they won't play), new clutch master cyl. (this week), rewire the injection system, er....er.... remortgage the house...;-)
