zeph_KE70 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Welding the tube to the plate, that will then bolt to the (disc protector? not sure what its called) but, yeah, hopefully you guys get the idea. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figjam14 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 nice welds :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeph_KE70 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 nice welds :/ I'm the worlds best welder, i used the worlds best welder aswell. I hate being so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figjam14 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 yeah man, relised hey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.C Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I can sympathise with a shite welder. Looks like you'd be better off just doing tack after tack. Works best with mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Here- this will help. He wrote a Masters thesis on brake cooling. http://researchbank.rmit.edu.au/eserv/rmit:6207/Stephens.pdf Convection to the atmosphere must then be the primary means of heat dissipation from thebrake rotor. Convection is governed by the expression: Q=hAs(Ts-Ta) also know as Newton’s law of cooling. Where: Q = the rate of heat transfer (Watts), h = the convection heat transfer coefficient (W/m2 k), As = the surface area of the rotor (m2), and Ts and Ta are the surface temperatures of the brake rotor and ambient air temperature respectively. It can be seen from this expression that in order to maximise heat transfer from the rotor (increase Q) and keep the rotor temperature (Ts) to a minimum, the value of heat transfer coefficient (h), or the surface area (As) needs to be increased. As it is required to keep Ts to a minimum, improvements must be made through increasing the heat transfer coefficient (h) and or the surface area (As) of the rotor. The amount by which the surface area can increase is confined by the diameter of the wheel and the requirements of minimising unsprung mass1, so improvements in cooling can best be made through increased values of the heat transfer coefficient, (Limpert 1975). I assume you are going to mount the air intake tube as close to the centre of the backing plate as possible, as you need to get the air right into the middle of the disc so it flows outwards through the vents.

zeph_KE70 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Any ideas on some hose i could use? Ive been looking around, and the 500F proof pipe is like, $189 for 12ft aha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenpos Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 very good, i know what its like with shit welders, mines the same, then i go down and use my mates good on and they look like robot welds... (almost ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01sik Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 wouldnt think youd need a high temp pipe don't think it would get that hot tbh, have you had a look at flexi ag pipe form bunnings/irrigation shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) If anything you'd probably only need a few hundred mm from the brake then a normal duct. Considering it's transferring cool air to the brakes not sucking hot air. Go to a wrecker and find some radiator hose that fits.
