Coyled,

I would use the intakes infront of the radiator, since they are already there. Maybe even make a small scoop. Check out the picture of Jim Holdens FIA radiator inlet on the ERA site. 3" hose tied to the upper A-arm, as far inside as you can to avoid tire contact. On my ERA, I used the swaybar link with 2 flat washers and a locknut thru the hose, pinching the wire reinforcement. Simple and light. Get the hose as close to the center of the rotor as you can, and be careful if you use plastic dryer venting, it will melt(!) if too close. If you want to get fancy, you can fab up some aluminum nozzles to direct the air the last 3-4". The hot air will vent itself out thru the wheel and put brakedust all over your pretty knock-offs.
