I have fitted these to my VXT and tested on a track day at Silverstone International circuit. I can confirm that the disc temperatures were reduced by 29%. The system utilises the fog light opening. A reducing sleeve is attached to the fog light aperture and then 38mm silicon tubing is run to a bespoke aluminium shroud that sits between the hub and the hub carrier. The design is such that all the air entering the fog light aperture is used to cool the disc with no leakage. If anyone is interested in such a kit I am prepared to supply a comprehensive kit for £145. The kit includes instructions, templates, reducers x2, stone guards x2, bespoke anodised aluminium shrouds x2, heatshrink, zip ties and 38mm silicon tube. The only other item required but not supplied is polyurethane adhesive or similar to attach the reducer to the fog light aperture flange. At present I have made 3 standard brake kits, but others will be made to order. I can make these bespoke shrouds to fit other none standard discs.

Attached File  rsz_2imag1668.jpg   41.43KB   61 downloadsThanks for your orders. For those that have non-standard discs I will require you to measure the internal diameter on the reverse of the disc. I too have AP bells and discs but I can't assume they are the same size as mine. The attached picture shows how the shroud fits in relation to the disc. It is important that the outer edge of the shroud is close to the internal outside diameter of the disc. Can you please measue this as acurately as possible and I will make the shrouds to that size.

I would also be very interested in a kit, but at the moment not too sure whether I would need it for the standard disks or some other larger diameter uprated disks, there seems to be a lot of varience. I know this does not help much but I'll look into it a bit deeper and get back to you later.
