Doing some work under the car and Noticed these things are bearly hanging on due to corrosion, It looks a right pain in the A*** job as taking the hub off and what not.
Any ideas?
Paul :rolleyes:
good question, mine are hanging on by the skin of their teeth and i have all the hubs off at the mo so its easy to whip em off, do they help with cooling at all??
Thats what i was thinking as there are vents on them, But mine are so knacked they cant be doing anything! Braking seems normal have\'nt really driven it hard for a while. ??
i glued mine back together in situ with arryldite[sorry about the spelling]
seems to be holding so far.
i have looked at a Porsche and that do\'s not have them on so i guess its not necessary to have them??
Update!
Collected new ones today from my local Mazda dealer-
FB05-33-270D
FB05-33-260D
1990 Turbo II
For wait for it .........£45.21 each :2Mad
Seeing though there about the same size a Pizza baking tray and most probably of the same material!!!!
Paul :Grrr
ouch, i just binned mine.
was that each or each pair?
I understand from the conversation that I heard whislt down at RE:Worx that the front discs take in cooling air from the middle and expell outwards thro the disc. The vent in the plate encourages air into the disc and therefore keep em cool. You can add ducting from the front of the car and it should go to the middle inside of the disc.

Yep,
Thats each so just over a ton incl tax!!
They are made of a different material compared to the previous ones which looked like aluminium, these are steel with black paint on to protect them( I hope !) :driving
Paul
Hi,
I\'ve rejected items way back in 1992 even since.( still got the car)

i have just bought aliminium some flexible 3" ducting from ebay for £12 quid. I am gonna duct it to the middle of the disc from the front vent
Nice Idea, :Thumbsup!
Get some pics up when its finished.
