1986 firebird radiator ducts

Can anyone tell me where i can purchase a set (?) of radiator ducts for my 86 firebird 302?

After reading the threads on this board I think the ducts from my car may have been removed, and I am experiencing slight temperature rises when travelling at speed. Also, I cannot see anything that looks like a duct under the car.

Failing that, can anyone tell me where I can see a picture of them, so that I could have a go a making some up?

I am in the uk, so any companies would have to be prepared to ship overseas.

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Have you checked the dealers? I dont know about in the UK, but over here the dealers still have them, and they arent any more expensive than any place else, especially as you are looking at international shipping etc.

Unfortunately, as they never sold the Firebird in the UK, the dealers do not want to know. However I have found a specialist who can get me a "one piece" duct for approx £50 ($80) so anything less than that would be good.

Thanks,

Andy
