Brake disc covers

Post by Tracxs »

I've been on to Toyota UK and IRL looking for the brake disc protectors but they have been discontinued and apparently it's a NCT failure here in Ireland would anyone have any suggestions, mine are completely rotten, it's a 1990 MK1 that' I have, any help

Thanks
Paul

Or get some from another car ,they can be cut off and re-fitted ,probably have to buy the hubs though , (Rev2 are slightly larger than Rev1 )

Shouldn't be difficult for a half way decent fabricator to make some up. There's a guy on the Guy Croft forum who even makes his own press tools for ones for his old Beemers -- not simple, but do-able.

In stainless they'll outlive the rest of the car!

My MK1 MR2 no longer has its brake disc covers (they dissolved before I took ownership).

This didn't stop it passing its MOT in the UK or its NCT when I brought it over to Ireland.
