You can chase all this stuff down yourself and save some $$, but its still pricey to do it original CSX style. I bought the two diverters and the cables/knobs from a wrecked Superformance and saved a bundle. I think the diverters are available from Cobra Restorers as are the cables/knobs. The aluminum duct rings are ~$5 each from Wicks Aircraft Supply. The screen mesh comes from McMaster Carr. I made my own hangers and you can buy the hi-temp ducting in various lengths and sizes on fleaBay. I didn't like the idea of bilge blowers on my Cobra so I didn't add those. So all in all I think I have $220 tied up in mine and they do help get cooler air into the footboxes. Not worth $1000 to me though.
