I tried really expensive silicone ducting with the metal spring in it, and that didn't last!
The spring came away from the silicone part, and all of it collapsed.
If you feel adventurous, try custom fiberglass?
Yeah, it's just temporary. Thanks for the heads up on the silicone ducting, that's what I was going to use. .

Ha ha that's just a weight weenie idea right there. . the aluminum adapters don't weigh much plus they're stronger thanks though

Why not a "Kustom" AL pipe connecting those two flanges?
This is what I was thinking but haven't tested for clearance yet, I just thought the silicone brake duct would be more than sufficient but from Ted's experiences I guess not. I'll try aluminum pipe next, worst that could happen is I have to notch a little out where the (edit) frame (not plastic trim) of the headlight comes down.
