You can go to aircraftspruce and get the 2.5" flange, use a holesaw to cut a hole in stock backing plate and then rivet the flange in. Then in winter just remove the ducts and hoses if you want.
I like this solution a lot. Looks like it may be more effective than the Porsche ducts to me. Great job Magnus. |

I remixed your scoop to go directly to 76mm. My printer is being an A hole though and having trouble with such a long print.

That is odd, my Lightweight backing plates came with 60mm hoses!

These carbon shields are smaller than stock and have the hose port. Not sure which would keep brakes cooler, this set up or just running no shield.

I also plan to make some air deflectors for the rear brakes. Like the GT3 scoops used in DE.

Nice :-) The Lightweight shields are quite different in design on some details, so these you got are from some other manufacturer, but yours look very very well done :-) |

The heat is no problem. But I agree 100% that aluminium shields are absolutely as good and much cheaper. I doubt there is any weight saving whatsoever compared to a very thin aluminium shield. But I got these for a very very very good deal.

Same for me, the CF ones ended up being cheaper than any metal ones on offer.
They also blew air into the hat more than any of the other designs and retained most of the backing to protect the susp. Bushings. Not worried about the CF catching fire. If that happens you probably had way worse problems going on. CF also does not ignite that readily from my quick search. |

There is a very similar part for a Camaro for the same function. A bit cheaper at $18 for a pair. https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/g...-84145204.html

Never had issues on or off the track with any negative effects. Easy mod that takes no time and cost zero. There was a Company in Europe that measured Caliper temps after track sessions before and after removing shields from an M2 and the difference was in the 60C range (If memory serves). Unsure how scientific that test was but at least a data point to consider.

And holy crap ppl are making fake endless brake pads now ?!?!?! https://trackparts.ch/Endless-Bremse...ngen-im-Umlauf EDIT: I always heard the dust shields also work as heat shields to protect suspension components. Did you ever notice any accelerated wear?

I did not remove it as my brake scoops are lower and this does not impact the flow to them. I did remove the 2nd further forward lip (M2C has this not sure on OG) as I needed to for my chin spoiler. I think most lip spoilers are deeper and block these guys anyways.
