I received my Lambert Automotive / Quantum brake duct backing plates last week and had them powder coated wrinkle black this week. (I use wrinkle black on lots of things to make it appear "more stock"
I did some test fitting last night and found one minor issue. The kit is supplied with 4 bolts (gold). A nut and bolt to mount the small bracket to the top of the backing plate and then I assume a bolt to attach the mounting tab to the knuckle. The thread needed for the knuckle is different than the bolt supplied in the kit. (see picture) I have a plethora of spare automotive bolts and found a handful that would work in its place...If someone were to force this bolt into the knuckle it would strip or cut new threads. I also played with the routing of the ducts to understand why a direct route could not be used.......as you can see int he last picture the 3 hose would get crushed by the tire at full lock. More pictures to come once the ducts are routed. Suspension is at full drop in the picture but the distance between the frame rail and tire did not change when compressed. -Matt

Maybe, I as mentioned I have bolts so it wasn't an issue.....I just tossed the others aside.

I wouldn't waste money on hardened bolts to mount the backing plate. What stress is applied that would require even a grade 5 or the metric equivalent no matter a Grade 8 bolt?

I do not like the way people are routing it through the suspension and back passed the strut and then into the backing plate....too many bends. I an going to be routing it at similar as I can to the Pratt & Miller build Stevenson Camaro Z/28.R I am have tried a few diffeent way and there will be some rubbing at full lock but I can see it on the Stevenson car as well...Note the ovalized duct near the frame rail. -Matt

Great suggestion! I got a 12' roll of Velcro One Wrap that has no adhesive and it secures to itself once it's wrapped around. I also used it under the hose clamps to protect the hose!

In the end, I think we will all learn a lot over the next 9 months about how well certain setups work. I would not be surprised if I ended up having to swap out the hose every year or two, but honestly when you look at the cost of brake pads and rotors and look at how easy it is to attach a new hose, this is going to be no big deal at all.

The next thing someone needs to do is block off one duct and go nuts on a track for 20 minutes, then measure the heat difference between left and right rotors using a heat gun....

I flattened / ovalized one of the hoses yesterday and it appears this is the route I will be taking. Weather is supposed to be cold again this week and I loose motivation when it is below freezing outside I will fire up the heater in the garage and most likely work on it again next weekend. -Matt

Looking at the bumper's lower facia grill, doesn't seem anything major can get in. Still sitting on the fence for this one.

Started to install the quantum kit earlier on my 14 but the caliper bolts would not ncome out on either side. Both me and my dad tried with a 20" breaker bar to get them loose but nothing. I was thinking of adding heat, maybe they are'frozen' on since it's 25* in the garage. Any ideas?
