Brake Cooling
Hello All,
It's been some time since I've posted on this site, but I''ve had some great advice and assistance in the past and I'm hoping you will be able to help again!
I have a 2001 AP1 which I mainly use on track now-a-days. It's pretty standard although I do use track biased pads. The brakes get exceedingly hot though, so I'm looking for some cooling options.
Lots of people seem to fabricate their own solutions, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a kit at a sensible price? I have found this on EBay which seems reasonable, but it only channels air into the wheel arch rather than directly onto the disc:

I am a relatively competent amateur mechanic, so if buying the separate components is the best way to go - I'd be happy with that - I just don't know what the best components are to get.
I'm also keen to try to get some cooling to the rears as they get insanely hot, but I can't find anything on-line for that!
Any assistance would be gratefully received!
Thanks in advance,

Thanks in advance,
Cooling is critical and will make a world of difference for track braking. My home made system is 2" hose and similar to the one in the link. It solved problems with heat fade on front pads and overloading the rear brakes.
