Hamish Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I only left mine off my 3a to fit better track Rod ends when I fitted the revington Ackerman arms https://www.revingtontr.com/product/rtr3314k/name/steering-geometry-imp-kit-tr2-3b otherwise I’d leave them on.

Lebro Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Yep, left mine off for the same reason, plus they are a pain to fit, & don't realy do anything useful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spyder dryver Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I took them off my GT6 to make (frequent) trunnion replacement easier, otherwise I'd likely have left them on. My kit car has GT6 front suspension and has never had brake shields. How's that for a non-committal answer. If you're suffering from brake fade I suspect that a change of pad material would be a better remedy than removing the shields. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Removed mine after a stone got stuck between shield and the disc - quite a horrendous noise. John. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Same, took them off for the reasons above. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
