Just curious - does anyone make a set of 'hats' that fit on the back side the brake assembly that direct air from brake ducts at the rotors?

Thanks!

Thanks - unfortunately, that's not quite what I'm looking for. I already have ducts in place running from where the turn signals used to be.

What I'm specficially looking for is whether someone is making hats that you can hook the ducting up to that direct air right at the inside of the rotor.

So far, I havne't found anyone who makes these. Does anyone know if they even exist?

TIA!

Hey Nick! Good to see you on this board too. I have a question. From the turn signal area, where did you run your ducts? The biggest obstacle I found was trying to get past the sway bar and tie rod ends, but that was trying to bring ducting from the lower air dam area. AFA duct hats, I think Al K on the MA list might have some info. I know he was working on a home-made set for his '93, but he might've done some research to see what was available...

Hehe - I lurk in a lotta places

I just ran the duct along the sway bar, and then left it pointing in the general direction of the center of the rotor. Once I get both ducts in place over the weekend, I'll work on getting a couple of pictures for you...

Do you have Al K's email addy?

Cool! Pix would be sweet. I took a quick look underneath the IROC last night and saw the route you probably took. The right side has lots of room, but on the left side the vaccum ball canister would probably need to be relocated. Looks pretty hard to fit something onto the brake assembly while leaving enough flex for full steering and suspension travel. I think the 4th-gens have quite a bit more room in that area...

I tried finding Al K's address on the MA-list page but it isn't there. You could probably ask him on the list to respond to you privately.

ahh, that's right, the vacumn ball would be sitting right there. My car is missing so much stuff, I forgot that it was there.

I'll drop the MA list a note lookin for Al. Thanks!

Try www.ground-control.com. They dont have a picture of their product though. You may want to give them a try.

Thanks Scooter.

I was aware they had 'em, but I had originally thought that they were the intake ducts that mount on the bumper. From re-reading their description, I'm not so sure anymore. They might be the hats that I'm looking for. I'll give 'em a call in a couple of hours and see what they have to say.

Thanks!
