Title: Brake disc shields, guards, covers Post by: Clifford3051 on September 05, 2024, 07:11:34 PM Hi all
These shields are quietly trusting away on my Spyder. Doing a search on the forum I can't find any real reference to these. I am assuming we can't get these anymore so only source is getting from a breaker or has someone found a solution/source for them? Many thanks C Title: Re: Brake disc shields, guards, covers Post by: SanRemo78 on September 05, 2024, 07:24:22 PM You could try Jim in Farnborough who has about a dozen cars he plans to break to build 2 or 3....

These are often a pain to find here in the U.K. in decent condition. They are often missing and the retaining bolts rusted into the hub. Finding a pair in decent condition can be a trial…..

I assume you're referring to the rear axle. As far as I know, the front axle never had these on UK spec cars. Having said that, my car, being an AU spec, actually has front shields and I have retained them. I wonder whether any shields are really necessary on a car that doesn't do much mileage and is kept off dirt roads. In short, I wouldn't be too concerned to leave them off. Nigel |
