HELP installing DRM brake ducts
I'm installing DRM brake ducts and have question on the hose.
Instructions say put ABS wires in center of hose.
WTH does that mean?
Where do you point the end of the hose?
Toward the center of the hub? That is solid (backside of knuckle/spindle)
Or aim down a little so air is aimed toward the bottom of the rotor?
What do you zip tie the end of the hose to?
The ABS connector bracket?
I'll eventually get spindle ducts but don't have them right now.
Appreciate the help.
I'm off to install the other duct and will check back before I put the hoses on.

"Instructions say put ABS wires in center of hose.":
cut a slit in the hose and insert the ABS module and wire though the slit
"Where do you point the end of the hose?

YES center of the hub is best but rotor is fine too.
"What do you zip tie the end of the hose to?" That is what the spindle ducts are for. To use a hose clamp and hold on the end of the hose

Thanks for the replies. I rigged it to where it will work but will get some spidle ducts.
It was a long afternoon. Besides the ducts, I changed the oil, installed stnls brake lines, Hawk pads all around, replaced brake fluid with Motul 600. Finally got it all back together and cleaned up about 1AM.

Doug and Randy are both really nice guys, and I have purchased a number of their products. Their duct kit is a pain in the butt to install, and I finally just threw the instructions away. I ended up cutting a lot more of the duct off and did not move the ABS sensors. Kit does do the job tho.
