    Default Brake duct

    Where is a good spot to mount the end of the hose to blow on the rotor? I have the fronts ok but am unsure where the best spot to mount the rest. Thanks.

    Cram it down into the triangle formed by the upright, and the caliper, pointing at the center of the rotor/bearing. Safety wire in place.

    Figure out the routing before cutting it, to leave enough lenght for tire clearance when turning.

    turn wheels all the way left for the right duct and right for the left duct to make sure you have enough clearanc3

    Here's what we use. These are fiberglass and blow into the center of the ventilated disk, and also just above the outside of the disk. Hose runs above control arm and below drive shaft. Not a lot of wasted air and hi velocity. 2.5" hose. Also blows on wheel bearing too.

    Are those beauties a custom fabrication or available off the shelf somewhere?

    Nice fit!
