I could measure the temperature of the hard brake line at certain points. In theory after a 10 minute sit the line that wraps the fluid should be close in temperature due to conductive heat transfer.

Okay for caliper temps I can use the temperature stickers and probably a portable laser thermometer (should read high enough). I will get some paint for the rotors and will see if 1400F is enough for the pyrometer, the 1800F unit is more expensive.
