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?

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. :confused:

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.

That is a bummer. I noticed the same thing.

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?
