Subject: Brake Ducting for Alfas
Does anyone have any great ideas for adding brake ducts to 105 Series
Alfas. My brakes sometimes begin to go away at Sebring - imagine that.
And I'm going back there next weekend for the SCCA race. I have looked at
the "can with slot" design in Carrol Smiths book, but I cannot see how you
could get anything larger than 2.5" diameter to install in the chassis (and
these would have to go directly above the caliper). Remember we must cool
both surfaces of a solid rotor car. Also, is there a vintage mod to the
front of the car for air inlets that is acceptable. I have the big GTAm
fender flares on my race car (it is still for sale). Some of the Vintage
groups really frown on using the headlight openings for brake inlets.
Thanks, Dave Anderson. http://www.nettally.com/alfaguy/
