Thanks for all the great ideas. I will probably make mine out of ABS.


As for the brake cooling issue, The best way to cool brakes is to remove the inner splash shield and run a duct from the front that blows on the calliper. Most of your cooling comes from the back side of the wheel.

Before the days of huge alloy wide open wheels so everyone could see how big your brakes are ( except now they just leave the stock brakes) most cars and trucks had steel wheels with small holes for weight reduction.

If you don't know how to drive you can fad the brakes on any vehicle.
