I finally got my driver's side brake cooling tube and decided to install it today. I backed my car into the garage with the nose sticking out to gain a little more room under the front of the car. I wriggled the tube in place, put the wheel liner flange in place, snapped them together and then though, "gee, this just doesn't seem all that tight!" So, I took my dremel tool, drilled a small hole in through the flange and the tube where they snap together and put a small screw in there to hold them together. I also put a screw through the flange and the wheel liner to hold those two pieces together as well. I know there's supposed to be at least one screw that holds the flange to the wheel liner, but I improvised and put the screw where I think it'll hold it nice and tight. I'll try to take a photo and post it.

Feels good to have a full set of brake cooling tubes!

Here's a not-so-great photo. I can see that maybe I didn't get the tube snapped in properly, but with the screws it should hold with no problem. There's a hole to the right side that I drilled but the wheel liner isn't behind the flange so I didn't put a screw there! The bright spot in the center is the screw that goes through the flange and the tube end. The other screw near the bottom is the one that holds the flange to the wheel liner. There's supposed to be a screw or two to the left side, too.

 

Olmike - where did you get the cooling duct? Mine were missing on the car when I bought it and I would like to add them.

Thanks

 

I got the passenger's side from someone on this site who was parting out a car, the driver's side I bought from Terry's Jaguar Parts - kind of expensive but I was tired of looking for another used one. Here's the info, the first item is the tube, the second one is the flange.
