Has anyone seen any difference with these air-scoops fitted on the factory disc brakes?
I have bought one and I would be willing to fit it, only if it does some improvement
cheers,

Is that the stainless steel thing you attach with a couple of self tappers Nassos?
I think, if your disc is working efficiently ( i.e. producing a lot of frictional heat) then yes, the scoop may offer some "improvement", and reduce "fade"
However, in the real World, with less than efficient systems and "ordinary" braking, then you probably won't notice any difference.
Lookks good though!

It may help cooling when racing as the disc would get very hot but the disc works so poorly anyway for racing that it's a pointless scenario. Maybe back in the day before outboards it had some merit.

I think more a decoration for 'period authenticity' than a practical cooling aid
