trublu Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Ducted brake cooling was an afternoon's work per side and is made up of the following components purchased from 360 Motorsports in Houston. The specialize in dirt roundy rounds but carry a good range of general race parts and are a very helpful bunch. Allstar Performance 3" brake duct hose- $52.99 for a 10' length NACA offset single hole brake duct- $18.99 each Allstar Performance spindle duct- $32.99 each NACA ducts can be heated with a heat gun and molded to suit the body profile. Spindle duct requires some minor mods to fit down alongside the brake rotor. It is mounted with 1/4" cap screws. Dirt track guys recommend the hose is clamped then riveted in place either end. Hope this helps someone. Let me know if anyone needs pics, I'm apparently not clever enough to post them. [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Al F. Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 The biggest enemy to those ducts is friction and wearing through, not heat. Take care how they're routed and support properly with zip ties. I've never had mine come off the spindle side using only hose clamps.

trublu Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 You're right here Al. I'm going to reroute a bit so the hose sits under the sway bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozog1548534733 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's important to aim the air at the center of the rotor, not the actual surface. The vanes will draw air from the center and shoot it out the perimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug1548534725 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Does anyone sell the backing plates you can attach the cooling hose to for a third-gen F-car? I've seen a few custom made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smike Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Here is how my duct is on my 2011 Mustang: 3in hole saw, 3in exhaust piping, drill, and pop rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
