Ducting is easy. Call up Savington, order a kit. Take off rotor, remove old dust shield, bolt on prawns. Clamp hose to inlet, zip tie it to the tie rod, and route to the mouth or foglight openings or whatever you have available. Done. Oh, you should probably put the rotor back on too. --Ian

<p>You take a cylinder, rivet angle aluminum onto it. Then rivet that to the plane.</p><p>The car eventually will get Willwoods and brake ducts. It just isn't in the budget right now, and I was hoping to wait. If I can ghetto rig for a bit I will be happy.</p>

<p>Thick end at the trailing edge, so front of the caliper. Cobalts don't need hardware apparently, they just rattle around. More carnage to come.</p>

I'm guilty of that, almost completely ground a backing plate away, there was like 1/16 of an inch left keeping the piston from rotor.
My excuse was it was a real POS truck with a slipping trans, and it was winter with no garage, I'm not lying in the friggen' snow to fix that crap lol
I lived in the middle of nowhere, passed two or three cows on my way to work. I'm not really that much of a badass

Aiden, those are serious track pads, none of this compromising bull ****. They will kill your rotors, the dust is corrosive, and they'll have fairly horrible wear on the street. They're for track days and occasional canyon carving.
Also, they will hold that grip from cold to hot, new to backing plate. That's the beauty of cobalts.

Yes sir! They're staying on for now because it have a track day in a week. After that I will get some cheapos for day to day. Good to know my issue was pads though. I measured these before putting em in and will measure when I pull them out. Then I can gauge wear.

</p><p>When I first got my truck a few years ago the drums (yes 4 wheel drum brakes ftw) were so bad that you had to drive in the far right or left lane on the freeway so you could run into the emergency lane if someone stopped in front of you.</p>
