Brake dust plate's
« 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:

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

Take them off, they do nothing but collect stones.

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