Mine are almost dust, so looking to get new uns pref not from Subaru.
Any places to get them?

 

Back plates? As in registration plates?

 

Ah sorry dude, the brake back plates dust protector disc things.

 

Just remove them. Mine has run without, front AND rear since I swapped out the fronts for Brembos in 2001, and the rears in 2006. No ill effects, and no chance of getting a stone caught between disc and protector, as I once did.

Best way to remove is to drill out the spot welds, then clean the whole area with a wire brush and hammerite it.

 

Sounds like a better plan to me mate. Cheers for advice backed by experience!
The rears are so rotten i could prob rip em off by hand. I did consider running without, but thought it would just equal brakes full of cack all the time.
Ill get to it. Weight off my mind. Thank you.

 

No probs.
