Brake cooling Ducts

[D.Bryce]

So after having brake cooling issues on track I decided to put together a kit.

Some 3d scanning and a few iterations later I’m now able to supply full kits.

These consist of a pair of backing plates, a pair of duct inserts and 2m of hose along with all hardware required.





I know there another member on the forum but believe he is on the other side of the pond.

I would be looking for £150 per set including free P+P writhin the uk.

What’s the diameter of the inlet hole? Also does the hole on the backing plate actually direct air into the center of the rotor or the face?

Kudos for developing something, but just FYI there is already a front and rear kit available from Westersund here: https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117884

yeh seen his kit but I believe he is in the us, was just something for the uk market for those not wanting to deal with the import and shipping hassle.

Dubbedown, it’s a 50mm inlet and it’s directed about 60/40 inside if hub/ face of rotor

Westersund is actually based out of Sweden but nothing wrong with healthy competition

That said, I wish someone came up with a different design all together. Having done this myself years ago (before 3D printing was accessible), sourcing flanges, ducting, etc and cutting trim is a pain, which is why I didn't bother installing one for my current Z. What would be cool is someone came up with a simple design that just deflects air and bolts onto the control arm. It may not be as effective but given the little effort involved (and yet still has to be better than factory), I would much rather try something like that.

Here is an example of a factory Porsche part.
