Wink

If that is your front left wheel, then you have them on right. As the rotor spins it is designed to push out not push in. That isn't the best way to explain it but I tried.lol

That is the way Stan told me to put them on and he explained it much better. I have had them on my truck that way for 2 plus years and about 4 to 5k miles with no problems. They are Stans rotors aren't they?

When I first saw the name of this thread I thought you were talking about your S/C rotors. That would be one hell of a cluster****

Cool

You have them on right. It forces the hot gases out as the rotor is spinning. That's the way Stan explained it to me.

The cooling vanes inside the rotor should "whip" the air away from the center, not "bite" into it

FROM THE BREMBO INSTALLATION MANUAL:

DIRECCION DE ROTACION DEL DISCO
Es un error bastante difundido el pensar que la
dirección de rotación del disco venga
determinado por ranuras o incisiones. En
realidad, para un disco con la zona interior
vaciada, la geometría de las palas que allí se
encuentran díctan la dirección de rotación.
Hay tres tipos de palas utilizadas:
• Derechas.
• Columna de palas (comprende muchos
postes pequeños).
• Palas curvadas.
Las dos primeras tipologías de palas no son
direccionales, y pueden ser utilizados en la otra
parte del vehículo. La pala
curvada , siempre es
direccional. Un disco a pala
curvada puede ser instalado
con las palas de giro desde
el interior hacia el exterior
del diámetro en la dirección
de rotación (ver figura).
La orientación del disco crea
una bomba centrífuga. La
rotación del disco crea una
corriente de aire que viene
bombeado desde el centro
del disco , a través de las
palas, y sale a través de la
parte externa del diámetro
del disco. Esta característica del disco permite
la disipación del calor.
Además, todos los discos incididos Brembo son
direccionales, sin tener en cuenta la forma
geométrica de las palas. Los discos suelen
estar instalados hacia el final de la ranura más
cercana al borde esterno del disco que se
encuentra en contacto con la pastilla.
