    Under car brake ducts on 289

    My 289 did not come with the big lower brakes ducts - I don't see them on the parts page on the F5 website - are they no longer available?

    Coupe-R has a Ford Performance 363 mated to a TKX, 18084.
    Many details on my Coupe-R are different from a typical Coupe build because mine is not street legal, race only.

    289 has a BP 302 mated to a TKX 18084.

    I don't know if they are included or even optional from FFR but Mark at Breeze has a set.

    I'm building a new 289 now for Mark Burger. They are optional from FFR. We called expecting them but they said they're an option.

    Thanks guys, I'll get a set from Mark. I looked this morning at the build options and they are not listed for the 289 - but they do list the brake screens as an option for the 289.

    I'm not trying to any sales away from Mark at Breeze, but he will tell you exactly what I am telling you now, the the FFR ducts are much nicer than the ones you'll get from Breeze. The ducts at Breeze are about $80 if I recall but the ducts from FFR are over $300 (If memory serves) AND they are on back order. Since I wouldn't need them right away, I ordered from FFR.

    Yes, I looked on the FFR parts page and did not see them listed.

    Hi Mike - Mine don't seem to fit where they belong. Did you trim the ones you used to fit the body and look right? Can you share any photos?
