Also, you need to consider what would happen if one of the flaps fails. If one side gets cooling airflow but the other does not, that may result in uneven braking (i.e. pulling to one side). That might be dangerous, depending on the situation.
Another consideration would be legality, in the event of a crash. If the opposing attorney finds out you modified the braking system and it failed, they will have a field day with that.
