Not like that.

You'll have to attach that ring to something and that caliper to something else.

Jody,

Don't forget before all that attaching, he really should put some brake pads in there too!

3D Printed brake ducts to allow for cooling to the calipers. 38 Hours to make one!

I'm hoping that 2nd duct catches on with more brake kits, I've only seen them on super high end stuff though typically they all have dedicated ducts.

I was trying to locate the brake ducts on the c7 but didn't have much time to crawl around it.

Got my AP Racing kit yesterday as well. Anyone interested in some titanium rotor hats, pistons, and brake shims?

Looks like we will get to test these brakes out on two "hard on brake" Tracks. Autobahn and Watkins Glen!

Cant wait
