    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.

    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!

    Those are really nice..
    Put a price on them, and get on with paying for your racing.
    The Cup ones are tig welded and cost about 80$ ea. used.

    After this weekend at Blackhawk, I'll get around to making a batch of them. I can do fiberglass in most colors and carbon fiber ones for a bit more. I've sold them for $100 a pair with mounting brackets. And $50 more for Carbon fiber if anyone's interested. May take a couple weeks though, racing season's just starting here.
