Brake cooling manufacturers

Hello all!

I have an FD (has Brembo brakes) that I track for my own personal amusement and I want to fab up a brake ducting system for it BUT I need backing plates. I have been trying to research where I can find a manufacturer of *brake cooling backing plates* the ones attached to the hub with the air inlet.. From searching through the sites old threads I found a company called N-tech that does have a model backing plate for the FD. However, after speaking with them on the phone they informed me their stock is out and because of a lack in demand they have no current intention of making another set.

SO....

Do any of you gentlemen know where I can buy a good set of proper brake cooling backing plates for the FD? Thanks!

As far as I've seen, you'll either need to get a GB for N-Tech or fab your own. GooRoo has a post about his setup:

Google Mazdatrix, Mazda motor sports, Flatout motor sports. I believe I saw them on the Flatout site.

Mahjik - Damn.

David - The item on their website says it's for a 2nd gen RX7. I don't know if that makes any difference though. I tried to call them but couldn't get a hold of anyone so I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks for the links guys!

Anybody else know of something??
