Default Brake Ducting

Finished my ducting today, the hoses shoot into the hats, there are also lower scoops for extra cooling. The keys of course was making sure the wheels didnt impact the ducts at opposite lock and making sure they had enough flex to not rip themselves apart when turning.

Do you have to clean the lint out of those between sessions?

I would be concerned about that hose melting at a track day with heavy brake usage. Contact Racer Parts Wholesale or one of the Rennlist sponsors for some high temp brake duct hose.

Yeah, I am doing the same thing with my track car - I am going to be using scat hose though. Check out aircraftspruce.com and get yourself some high-temp silicon engine duct (scat) hose, much better than dryer hose........other than that - looks great!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. We'll see if it melts or not. If it does, I'll clean it up and replace it.
