Note also there were no shields on the outboard side of the rotors
which, presumably would be just as exposed. Completely enclosing
the rotors would obviate one of the advantages of disks (heat
dissipation).<br>

Subject: [Healeys] Today's Rant<br>

<div id="gmail-m_2646217165292179440yiv6658234910">If you
guys don't mind, here's today's rant. I have struggling
with fitting the backplates dust shields to my BN2 disc
brake conversion. These backplates would have to be
fitted before the extended splined hub is assembled on
the car. I tried every way I thought they should be put
on the car, but could not get the mounting tabs to line
up with the caliper plate bolts.Not even close. I'm
ready to finish the front hubs and disc brakes without
the backplates. Is there any of you guys running
conversions or standard disc brakes without these
things? Do I absolutely have to put these things on the
car? Ok, that's the rant for this week.
