Brake cooling mod

[m12_nathan]

Is nothing short of awesome, brake fade is gone, worth every penny. The end.

This thread is worthless without pictures.

What have you done to stop them being overcooled for road use, and also funneling water onto them etc. when on a wet motorway!

The end? Its hardly the beginning my son!

I'll just assume they are crap then, and that you are embarrased that I've pulled you up on these important questions

Paul,

Did you do anything with the rear brakes?

[DanH]

Where does the hose that has to be disconnected lead?

Nathan - didn't you mention that they had something on the end of the pipe to help distribute the air a bit more precisely? I vaguely recall that it should point onto the side of the disc to cool both sides evenly?

[m12_nathan]

It has an aluminium thing on the end but is in essence Paul's mod - will post pics.

Nothing for the rear brakes - not certain they need anything.

Disconnected hose is plastic tagged to the chassis with its face facing verticaly down level with the underbody. Doesn't make a blind bit of difference to the cabin ventilation / heating / air con. In the air collector theres a baffle plate across the front so there never was direct air entry into the disconnected pipe.
