ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for drying and cooling a brake drum includes an elongated flexible strip adapted to be wrapped around the peripheral wall of the brake drum with a plurality of fins extended radially inwardly from the strip. The fins are twisted so that the free edges are inclined at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal centerline of the strip so that air flow is directed away from the braking surfaces within the drum in response to rotation of the brake drum when the vehicle is in use. An elongated tension spring having at least one flat surface may be placed over the strip for securing it onto the brake drum.
