A lot of race teams settle when it comes to cooling the brakes by simplypointing the cooling hose at the inside of the rotor using the TLARmethod. ("That looks about right.") This is almost guaranteed to lead toinefficient cooling. The other end of the spectrum is carbon-fiber"caps" that direct cooling air from the hose into the center of therotor--nice, but expensive. You can do the same with a sheet of aluminum,a hammer, a shrinking tool, and a tig welder. It doesn't have to befancy, but the goal is to get all of the cooling air from the hose ontothe rotor and caliper. It is difficult to see in this photo, but Davishas also built a backing plate mounted to the back of the spindle tofinish the cap. View Related Article
