    Cutting rear dust shields for cars needing parking brakes

    I have things apart and was wondering if anyone trimmed the rear dust shield before - better cooling, but trimming it to keep the provisions for rear parking brake as well as the the brake line mount.

    I did this for the rear Massive kit. Pretty easy to do, I used tin snips with the shield still on the car. There was a few tricky areas, but take your time and clean it up with a file and some sandpaper and it'll be fine. Don't make a sharp point at the 90 degree turn for the line fitting, try to round it a bit.

      Cool. Thanks. I was hoping someone did this before with success.
