Looking foward to it, Phil.

Can anyone explain the design of the standard plates. That is, why are they a complete circle, rather than just a hose holder to point at the rotor face? Do they need to have a lip? What diameter of backing plate is optimal ... compared to the rotor diameter?

I am assuming that the cooling comes from 2 areas: 1, the inside rotor face receives cool air directly on it, and 2, the high pressure area created by the cooling plate / hose, forces cool air into the middle of the rotor, where it is spun through the vanes and out the edges of the rotor.

Does that all sound correct?
