Spindle air duct adapters for brake cooling
I've seen a couple of forum users mention these, but haven't found details on customizing these for a reliable 5th gen brake cooling setup suitable for track use. I'm looking for a good alternative to the Quantum kit.
Anyone? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all42116 |

Ive been thinking about trying to 3d print a replacement for the metallic cover that has a spot for a hose. Another probably easier option would be to have a hole cut on the gm part and weld a adapter for ducting into it.

You could find a set of Z28 ducts and Gen6 deflectors there’s article out there that say this actually better setup than a hose an spindle adapters.

I have both (not yet installed). I would be interested to see that article to understand what is "better" about it. Seems like focusing air flow directly to the rotors would be optimal. I had planned to use an adapter to directly connect the Z/28 duct to a flexible duct hose at the wheel well...if I can find a spindle adapter. I also have a set of 6th gen arms I was considering installing (which would obviously work well with the deflectors), but didn't get that far and am on the fence about using it due to the impact on alignment. |

There is other articles out there but I can’t find the one I’m looking for but this is a good start.
