I'll see what I can find, but the stock car days was back before the proliferation of digital cameras, so I'll have to see if I have any scannable pictures of that arrangement. The Challenger's set up hasn't been built yet, so nothing on it at the moment. The simplest view would be the backing plate with a 3" round hole in it and a 1" deep sheetmetal flange attached to the hole.

Did you say you had a fan motor to push the air?

Looking through a stack of old photos, I can't find any good shots of the brake cooling system in any detail. Sorry.
