hi guys alittle adive needed please my bug failed it's MOT today on its hand break so i sorted that but when i was adjusting the off side i found that the rim arround the backing plate was corroded right through is this an MOT failure aswell and how easy is this to replace is it replace the whole backing plate or just the rim that can be welded on cheers
Not a MOT failure and tbho given the cost to renew i wouldn't bother as it doesn't really do anything other than stop road debris getting at the brakes but it's only a small hole ans won't cause any problems at all mate.
They are just the stone guards , not the actual backing plate , they are very thin steel , just grind through the 8 or so spot welds and remove it ,
Very easy to do , and needs doing if your changing to rear brembo's anyway
Cheers Ian
