Does anyone know where I can purchase a brake caliper temperature indicating strip similar to those attached?
Temperature would be for track temperatures only. I'm going to be interested to know if I need to investigate brake ducting after a few track sessions and whether my callipers and rotors are operating at the best temp for the pads.

Any other input into this area greatly appreciated.

Thanks Graeme.
Pretty expensive! I may have found a cheaper alternative from Starr Instruments:

Does anyone have experience in temperature ranges for aluminium callipers during street and track application?
As I am fitting an oil cooler, I am expecting that I won't be needing a cool down lap after 3 laps out of say a 4-6 lap session when the motor was getting hot. This will mean during a sprint session, I will be pumping more heat into the brakes.
A session may only be typically under 20 minutes though, so it may not be an issue...
