cdelena,

are those pics of your brake discs before or after you painted them?

Curious.

That is about ten months after they were painted. Track use of the brakes generates too much heat for the paint. My next set of rotors will be cad or zinc treated. And the caliper paint has done ok but I am now in the process of removing it and grinding the calipers smooth before cad plating them.

cdelena,

I'd really like to see some photo's of the backing plate attachment method next time you are servicing your brakes...

Seems like the tricky part of the job to me.

I guess cad plating the rotors is the only way to go, but I will try to paint my original set and used the highest temp paint I can find.

Thanks

Here are my grill-covered vents:


and the custom-fabricated intake:


and one of the filters installed:


Just another hand-crafted variation on a use for the faux vents...
