Title: Brake dust plate's
Post by: Richie_EB4 on January 24, 2006, 10:46:21

Hi all

Has anyone removed the dust plates from behind the brake disc's ?.........if so is there any problems for getting the car tested (MOT) etc...........as when at langdale last sunday i found that there was so much mud and twigs etc stuck in there that it was more of a problem than a help.

Cheers

I've removed mine.

Much easier to clean after playing in the mucky stuff.  And stones don't get trapped in there, scoring the discs etc . . . .

Can't think why they would be part of the MOT, but I can let you know next week if there's a problem  :wink:

Sometimes removal consists of breaking off whats left after they rot away :wink:

Take them off, they do nothing but collect stones.

No problem with them being removed for the MOT either. :wink:
