Brake shields
« on: 02 April 2014, 20:30 »
Just stripped calipers to paint and front shields are in a poor state. Are the brake disc shields stealer only. Tried ringing  a few car part companies no joy. Looked on TPS list but could not find them cheers for any help

It says TPS can not be used by Joe public.How do I go about using them do I have to register an interest or am I missing something.

I rang gave them gave reg number of golf let slip that I am a member of this site to which TPS sells a lot. Anything else you require can not fault. Only problem I will have is finding TPS google maps looks good. Been driving 30 years never even knew they exsited. Like the saying goes learn summit new each day.

How far do you have to strip the callipper/hub down to to replace these sheilds? I may do mine...Looking pretty tired!
