Thnks guys! It was a lot of fun helping Bill out with this... i'm glad that he's liking the setup


The airflow in the rotor goes from the inside-out, so like Bill said, he mounted the outlets in the dust shield as close to the center as he could get.

You can see in this pic roughly where the hose is meeting the rotor...

You need these:

to mount the ducts to the dust covers.

so you just cut part of the shield away and mounted the aluminum hose adapter to it? How did you secure it?

I've always thought highly of this mod. I've NEVER seen a circuit racing (production based) race car without these

You cut a hole in the dust shield, insert the flange and rivet in place. We also cut away all the excess dust shield. We used just enough of the dust shield to hold the aluminum flange in place.

Very Nice, but why didn't you use the AP2 side ducts that look like they were suppose to be brake ducts?
