911 Brake Cooling - The Early Years

For those looking for a relatively inexpensive way to cool their stock brakes, this site has some good info. http://www.dietersmotorsports.com/tech/2002/5-2002.htm

Good article, and totally reversible. Maybe some of the racers can chime in to see how effective this is...

We've been using those brake cooling kits since the 70's with excellent success,.....:) :)

Thanks Rick and Steve.

And I was trying to be "good" after Christmas (see below)......oh, well!



We do have the 911 brake cool kits in stock for $268.97.

All our track cars have them...worth every penny in stopping power!

My understanding is that the type shown should take stock S brakes and make them suitable for DEs and prolonged drives through the twisties and the canyons. Add cryogenic slotted or cross drilled.... and you are probably good for some occasional track time. (No, I am not a paid spokes person, but I play one on TV ;) )

The type of cooling ducts shown have a tendency to get torn off on lowered street cars on bumpy or pot hole ridden roads. Perhaps their solution, of using allen screws with some wide washers will preserve them longer.

I put them on with tie wraps...the reason is I want them to break away or move if they hit something in an off track excursion...good for the street curb also...if bolted on they can be mangled....I don't have any problems with them moving from the air at speed....

Good point.

All sounds very good - does the kit also work with the standard vented discs or do you need the slotted ones shown? Does it also work with the solid discs on the early non-S cars or just with vented and/or slotted discs. Thanks.

Works with the stock vented or slotted/drilled discs fine....
I haven't tried it on solid disc but surely it would help...don't think it would work to use the block off plates...no where for the forced air to go.
Usually if you have a braking issue with solids you would be upgrading to the vented..
