Front disc guards

[maffey]

Hi Guys, Has anyone fitted disc guards to the rear of the front discs, if so are they easy to fit and where can i get some, cheers.

I have a set of 4 lying in my garage. They are due to go on the bay of evils but I'm happier to assist a fellow TVRererer.

Drop me a PM if you're interested.

They are easy / obvious to fit. Wheel off. Cover on. Wheel on.

Do you mean this kind of thing, No. 5 ............ ?





That picture is from a TR6 parts book, I can recall similar things on older Fords (my Haynes '72-'74 Consul/Granada manual shows them) but can't see them in a Sierra parts book so may be Ford didn't fit them by then?

Guess it wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate, or modify something from another car

I can't figure out how you'd fit such a thing

I had metal rear disk protectors on some old Triumphs, but cant see the point in them - They only seemed to trap stones and damage the disk more

On a related subject, if you are thinking about the plastic covers that go between the disk and the wheel to reduce dust on the wheel, don't either...had to remove mine a the bottom of an Italian Alp after they got too hot and started to melt...

Wow, some serious rearranging of particle physics needed to work out that smoke!

There's no need to get personal
