You're welcome. :makeout:

It's about time someone sells these. What is the length, diameter and material of the hose that you will be supplying with the full kit?

Thanks.

Did I miss something? Are you supplying a full kit?
EDIT: Apparently you are.

Kit will come with 11ft of high-temp (500*F) 2" hose, hose clamps, and a handful of zipties to keep everything out of the way.

They will install without removing the hub, but the old dust shields are a PITA to get off with the hub in the way. You really want to just buy two new nuts and dustcaps and remove the hubs - trust us on that. It's $20 well spent.

There's a GB link in our sponsor section, but I wanted to make sure the track crew saw these.

cool stuff, any pictures of them installed? just as a visual aide?

Very nice. I will add to my list of things to acquire (growing ever larger).

I found a good picture illustrating why pulling the hub is recommended for removing the OEM shields. So if you don't pull the hub, how is even possible to do the swap?

nm, that picture actually explains it all!

I hate you. You take all of my money.

how long is the GB open for?

I've cut the dust shields off without removing the hub. Used a warn down (small diameter) cut off wheel, took a while but possible. Just gotta know it'll be in a dozen pieces when you're done.

Very nice!

You use a box wrench to undo the three bolts, then use a pair of tin snips and a healthy dose of adult language to cut the shield and bend it off the spindle.

Through November 7th.

Why aren't a set of those in my hands now? Please fix this problem.

Crusher need duct poarnz

I need pics of 15x10 6ul, 11.75" BBK, 245 tires, and these ducts. Assuming you can get all those pieces in one shot.

Photoshop, all parts on the ground, or mounted together? ;)

Mounted of course. We have some amazing hardware available for bargin prices between 949 and TSE, were lucky to have two dedicated track sluts who also happen to sell the parts they develop.

Easy now . . . need to keep this at least R-rated. A picture like this would endanger keyboards across the land.

Ohh, something else to do this winter. Very nice.

By all means, don't post any pics of these mounted and hooked up to some hoses :fawk:
Now come with an easy solution for the duckfaced brakeducts on the R-package lip kthnxbai x0x0

Any idea if they fit with Goodwin brakes? Looks like they ought to, but...

thanks,
--Ian

ordered and paid

They should fit, yes.

Prawns...

Any pics of this shit installed?

Wow good job, those look awesome.

Buy a pair and take some, powerbottom. :makeout:





We'll have a few pics up early this week.

ordering a set.........
paid.

They look real similar to what I made. And I have an 11.75” BBK.
What I’m missing is the 15X10 6UL’s
“Why aren't a set of those in my hands now? Someone Please fix this problem.”:D

Looks like it matches your rotor size almost exactly. Which rotor is that, just for reference?

That is a 10.6" sport rotor.

it looks like that dumps air onto the rotor, is that correct? was there not enough room to make it dump inside the rotor hat?

Correct on both counts.

Goes both inside the rotor and some on the rotor surface. To be compatible with everything, you can't get a full 2" of pipe to go all inside the rotor and we opted for leaving the space open instead of simply closing it off. Bigger rotors, like our 11.75" kit, have less air on the rotor surface.

Ditch the ABS then you can move the dump closer to the center.

Bob

...I know.

It goes beyond ditching the ABS, though. Anyone with a 94+ chassis would be required to hack up their spindle in order to move the duct closer to the center. Even cars without ABS have that spindle nub from '94 on. In our opinion, that is a totally unacceptable solution.

That's why we came up with these - we wanted a plate that would fit all 90-05 spindles without modification, fit ABS-equipped cars without modification, and protect the two balljoint boots that are highly prone to heat damage from the brakes.

There are other plates available that don't fit 94-05 spindles or ABS, don't provide any heat shielding to the balljoint boots, and are more expensive to boot - if all of that strikes your fancy. :hustler:

A more complex formed duct could dump air on either side of the ABS sensor to get more air in the center. But who would pay for it, if it doesn't make a noticeable difference, especially with bigger floating disks.

The biggest difference is to get some hose securely attached in there (going from nothing), the ones I have on the bench in my garage doesn't do a thing.
When I get these delivered I have one excuse less (there will at least be something secure to zip-tie the hose to).

I can't really tell from the pictures. Is there a lip or bead on the duct that accepts the hose?

In 3 years, even at 150+mph, I've never had a hose come off without a bead.

that cf one looks intense. Yeah I didn't think there was much room back there, I'm just wondering if the cooling of that rotor surface would have any adverse effects

+1 to Hustler, it's not necessary. The hose just slides on. The full kit does include hose clamps but nothing else is necessary.

how hard would it be for you to offer two versions? just move the hole and the placement of the welded on tube.

Bob

This version works fine for all cars.

Ordered and awaiting invoice. I will haz brake prawns !

this is the shexy!!! so wish i had the extra money for the GB

I got mine yesterday by Fed Ex. thanks Andrew.

Got mine as well, doesn't really fit right in the area around steering arm, but I think I can put more of a bend in the upper crease to increase clearance and make it work.

OK, I'll bite, why are these things prawns?

Curved shape around the axle with the hose attachment as the "eye"?

They are designed so that when you bolt them down it will put a slight bit of force on the backing plate from the tie rod end. This is to ensure maximum brake clearance possible.

Sounds good, works for me...

"prawn" is the phonetic pronunciation of "pr0n" which is the commonly-used substitute on the interwebs for a word referring to media which depicts (usually) people, usually without clothes, engaging in behavior which many religious groups consider to be immoral.

In other words the the title of the thread is brake p-o-r-n, which is never spelled shorthand to avoid blacklists etc.

Prawns are here, someone pass the cocktail sauce.

Are yall sending out tracking numbers? I sent my set to the office and the mail room occasionally 'forgets' to bring packages up.

Yes. The complete kits have not shipped out yet but the backing plates alone have. Complete kits should ship out in the next couple days.

That good, I was wondering why others have gotten theirs and I haven't got mine yet. Look foward to putting these on.

Thanks to everyone that participated in the brake duct backing plate sale. They are now available on our website for $119 for the backing plates and $189 for the complete kit.

Where's my cocktail sauce?

Got my tracking number, thanks!
