302mm disc vents

[crogthomas]

Does anyone know if there are any manufacturers of the 850/V70 302mm discs who put the intake to the disc vents on the inner side of the disc?

It seems that most aftermarket discs (and presumably the Volvo parts) come with vents in the outside of the disc like the example on the left (you can just see them between the disc centre and the face):

I'd like to use 302mm discs with brake cooling ducts and therefore need to take air from the inside of the discs like the standard 940 280mm discs on the right of my photos.

I assume that since Volvo put the vents on the outer side, that all of the aftermarket manufacturers do the same, but it's worth asking the collective mind of the forum just in-case.

Thanks

Thanks for the effort, but as strbryan has pointed out I think most of the photos used are generic ones, hence asking on here to find out if anyone has got the discs in their hands and knows for certain.

WRONG i have these discs myself and they are NOT generic pictures

They are all stock photos.

Look at the sellers "Other Items" and you'll see the same picture being used over and over again for *all* front disks.

Also, one of the sellers (the 2nd link you posted) has put "Generic Image" at the top of the photo, and the 3rd link you posted has "Pictures are illustration purpose only"

Examples:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-BRAK...item35bbe34995
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-BRAK...item35bbe32404


Another seller (1st link) has even used the same photos for an Impreza:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DRILLED-BR...item19b576989b

and a Saxo VTR/VTS:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-SA...item19b68248d7

and a Honda Civic:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRONT-CIVI...item439882362f

To the OP: Can you not run the cooling ducts to the callipers and cool the pads, and let the vents in the disks do their own thing?
That'll stop quite so much heat being generated by (and stored in) the pads, so keeping the temps down a bit more?

Of course you know exactly what i have on my car dont you James, dont try and make me look a prick, i suggest in future you ask before comenting on my posts

I bought genuine Volvo ones and they are the same as the ones in your picture.
Because the brakes are so much better I don't think the difference in design will affect anything. Most people will be using wheels of an open design but even with steel wheels and wheel trims mine seem OK.

There are some more pictures and info in the write up I did.
