Hi, I'm rebuilding my front calipers on my 3.2 and need to replace the back plate shield. Does anyone know where I can get a pair? Thanks 😊

Carried over from the Carlton/Omega A and Senator B. So I suggest that you PM Keith ABS and ask if he can help you out? If nobody on the forum has any.
Do they really need renewing as opposed to re-painting?

Hi, my shields are non existent, nothing to paint! ;D
-
I assume then you mean FRONT shields then :-\
NOT the REAR back plates (because the rears support the handbrake shoes too ) :-\

Err.... read the OP Dave. ;)

It's just not clear what the OP wants ???

Cos he's rebuilding his front calipers, then surely (presumably) he is referring to the back plate on the front hubs - that's how I read it before you lot started throwing spanners in the works!!

And no, I don't know a source of any....approx three years ago, the fronts were totally rotten on one of mine. I scoured my local scrap yards and found a decent set on a breaker so just swapped the complete hubs and knuckle. Not as easy these days though - Omegas are now a rarity in my local breakers.... :(

Assuming I have correct numbers really difficult to find. I remeber some years ago rear plates were available from Germany (someone started re-production of them). Don't remember the name of that company but ordered one rear plate from them. Does anybody know whether they produced also front plates.

That's the way i read too Johnnydog. So when i read Dave's post saying about rear brakes, that's when i made my flippant reply. ;D

seeing as they are only dust shields rather than the rear ones which actually do a job then surely there must be a similar type on something that can be modded to fit (or will fit) the front style is certainly quite conventional .
-
There is no requirement for the front to be there at all for MOT in the UK ;)
probably why no one bothered to re-order or manufacture them.
they would only become an issue if the sharp edge risks damaging something else .
a pair of shallow pie tins with holes in the right place would do the same job (which is not much) IF you felt the need :P
Mmmm....pies :P :P :P ;D

Hi, thanks for all your comments, yes I am trying to source to the front brake disc shields. I'm the process of taking it all apart, the nearside has some of the original left so hopefully I will be able to find something similar :)
