    Dust covers?

    Has anyone installed brake dust covers on the inside of wheels to keep them clean? UFP pads are terribly dusty. A short trip and the braking wheels are nasty already.

    I've heard that can lead to overheated or at least not well vented rotors. Restricts airflow. I would imagine with the popularity of ceramic and low dust pads the need for these things has diminished.

    Maybe on the newer boats. From what I understand the UFP require an organic pad for environmental and maybe other reasons. I'd love to have ceramic. Mine get nasty quick.
