Anyone fitted the brake duct option?.. I got only a front paper template for the wheel inner arch... no template for the exhaust hole.

Looking at CJ site these used to come with a glass fiber template for front and rear .

Any suggestions who went trough these...tks

Yes I think it is possible as all works is done from the outer part of the body

They only supply a paper template for the front hole...then you have to grind slowly the second one to match the duct.

On CJ's you can see a fiber glass template for front and rear which I presume are not supplied anymore.

guys when we put the ducts in my car we also re contoured the radius of the forward edge of the side pod. for some reason if you took a string and swung it from the top of the upright in an arc from the outside opening of the wheel well to where it strikes the center section the side pod forward edge is actually closer to the upright in the middle of the arc. After the correction the wheel no longer rubs on the sidepod at odd combinations of steering lock and wheel travel.sorry its upside down it has exceeded my geek factor. lee
