That illustrates a "clamshell" it inhibits the natural flow. It was tried on '60's and early '70's race cars, but is not often seen today.
If it works for you, great.

I chose to vent them this way since there is no natural flow of air with non vented rotors, that I am aware of? It does work very well for me.
Attached is how the lefties do it:

Derek,
There have been two articles which included 964 track preparation as well as an in-depth on brakes in the PCA Panorama over the past couple of years, which may answer some questions (more the what to use, rather than where to buy). If you don't have access to past Panorama's, you can view the 964 track preparation article here. The article on brakes (actually in two Pano issues due to length) can be read here.

Bill,
I was just reading your web site , That looks like that is the way to go.
But I have not found a vendor yet.Did you just order those parts from Porsche?
Very good job on the site for all the rest of us to use.

Where possible, I used Porsche parts, quite a few Carrera RS, a few Carrera Cup parts. Some parts like linear springs and rear sway bar are not Porsche parts. For the Porsche parts, pick yourself up a CD copy of the parts catalog from any dealer, which runs around $10. The European catalog, which is on the CD, has all the RS parts. My copy is a little outdated (April 2005), however, the Porsche part number is 00004340005. Many parts, including Carrera RS parts, are available in the US, however most RS parts have to be ordered from Europe. Some Porsche dealers won't order European parts, however, there are a number who will, as well as offer discounts. If you need some names, email me.
There's also an article on installing the Carrera RS suspension and swaybars on John Miles 964 site at http://www.porsche964.co.uk/technical/susp.htm
