Hi all, just installed the front axle brake cooling for the i20N by Speed Engineering and wanted to drop a warning for those that are looking into it.
installation was fine and the kit looks good, except for the outlet of the hose. This part is supposed to attach to the hub, by undoing two of the three screws securing the hub to the knuckle. Undoing these screws is quite difficult working with the car on the jacks (14mm bolt heads, screwed at 80-100Nm!), but the real problem is that the provided outlet fits poorly against the seats of the screws (the seats are slightly sunken). The result is that the metal deforms around the holes and makes it very difficult to reach the prescribed torque. The two provided outlets for left and right side are identical, so not an issue of using the wrong part. I ended up not wanting to risk it and removed it. I managed anyway to decently angle the hose towards the center of the disc using zip ties and the OEM brake ducts, the hose won’t be as close to the disc as intended, but better than nothing. Pretty disappointed by the design of the part, I will probably drop them a line
