Has anyone got a front disc brake dust shield that I can borrow or buy?
I need at least one to test that a 4 pot calliper I'm trying for size will fit with the dust shield.
Thanks
Lou.

Fully understand Tony, that's why mine were removed and discarded!
I just need to see if the calliper will fit with a dust shield , should someone want to retain them with these callipers.
If they fit then we all will have the choice of another aluminium 4 pot calliper we can use on our Tigers.

Probably wouldn't take much to snip off enough from the shield to make a caliper work. I've actually done that on my modern BMW fitting bigger brakes/discs and had to modify the dust shield.
Talking of your Tiger shield's being discarded. I wonder where mine have gone......Sure I had them before they went into the workshop

..interesting. I was told from a Tiger specialist of 'old' that rather than 4 pot Girling calipers from an Austin Princess (a common upgrade back in the 80's) that the smaller 4 pot Girling calipers from an MG Metro Turbo will work just as well and allows Tiger folk to keep 13 inch alloys if they wish.pushrod wrote:I just need to see if the calliper will fit with a dust shield , should someone want to retain them with these callipers.
Perhaps that setup, might also allow you use to use stock brake dust shields.
Thought I would pass it on
When I fitted my 4 pot calipers and vented discs I kept the dust shields, helps to protect the ball joints from getting hot. I had to cut them to fit round the calipers but only took a couple of minutes, also cut the front of teh shield back to allow air in.
