Installing Air Guides For PCCB Brake Discs
General
NOTE:
- The air guides (brake-air spoiler) on the front suspension of GT2 vehicles with PCCB brakes are larger than those of a conventional brake system. Exclusively for PCCB brakes, air guides (brake-air spoiler) are also mounted on the rear suspension.
- These air guides are not mounted during transport.
CAUTION:
Damaged, worn or missing aerodynamic components such as spoilers or underside panels affect the driving behaviour and therefore must be replaced immediately.
- Spoilers and undersides must therefore be regularly checked for damage.
- Please inform the customers concerned about this.
Installing front air guides
1. Mount the air guide (brake-air spoiler) on the front control arm (clip in similar to the standard air spoiler on the Carrera 996 and Turbo 996). Then insert the expansion rivet (included in the scope of delivery) into the bore present -arrow-. In vehicles with the model year 01, the bore -arrow- must also be drilled in the wheel housing liner behind (drill 8 mm through the existing bore).
2. Mount the air guide in the same manner on the other side of the vehicle.
Installing rear air guides
1. Push air guide (brake-air spoiler) onto the lower rear axle control arm from the front.
- Subsequently fit the retaining clip -2- (included in the scope of delivery) from the rear. The retaining clip -2- must be inserted into the slot of the air guide -arrow-at the top.
- Connect the retaining clip -2- to the air guide -1-. To this purpose, push the three expansion rivets -3- (included in the scope of delivery) into the bores drilled in the bracket and the air guide (two from above and one from behind).
NOTE:
- The illustration shows the rear of the air guide -1- (removed)..
- The left and right air guide -1- and retaining clip -2- differ from each other.
2. Mount the air guide in the same manner on the other side of the vehicle.
