1) I have a note to myself to gather that data - once I've got it, I'll post it.
The local shop I use has suggested an old brake cooling trick: water sprayed wherever it's needed to keep the brakes cool. If I was going to keep running the car and this was a serious-enough issue, I'd probably look into that. As it is, I'm doing only one or two more events before hanging my helmet up, and so far the brakes are working well despite the seemingly too-high temperatures. Heck, the calipers still look like new when they're clean - they have no visible discoloration at all. I'm most curious to see the conditions of the dust boots and piston seals.
2) I think there may be another attachment point. I'll take a look the next time the wheels are off, and if it's there I'll shoot and post it.
