Here's 1661, functional brake scoops, resprayed but never apart. Completion 4/17.
Did 1661 have a rearward rivet out of the view of the forward two?
Bob, here's a view showing a couple additional rivets further back. I'll let you interpret as needed. Just providing data point which may or may not be useful for this production time frame.
Interesting showing yet another installation variation with two small rivets in the front and back .

Yes, would be good to verify that ALL have actual ducting not a blocked-off opening.

Of course this is going to add another "wrinkle" and chances of false positives since there are a number of examples where the scoops were made functional by owners at some point. Have a few of those  :( already show up.  But we can try.

Yes have a number of those (fewer than the two piece at this moment)  but enough to see that we likely have another variation in the mix.

Added to the list.  As for now my list is for the two piece version which are all functional as far as we know

Yes, would be good to verify that ALL have actual ducting not a blocked-off opening.

"6T6/7" can you feel inside the scoop is not blocked-off? and is there an opening in the rear wheel wells, see attached for reference...



JD, yes can see and feel opening at each end and duct in between.
