[Team.net]

I believe the early 59s did not have dust shields.

Mine does miss the shields.

>> If you guys don't mind, here's today's rant.  I have struggling with fitting the backplates dust shields to my BN2 disc brake conversion.  These backplates would have to be fitted before the extended splined hub is assembled on the car.  I tried every way I thought they should be put on the car, but could not get the mounting tabs to line up with the caliper plate bolts.Not even close.  I'm ready to finish the front hubs and disc brakes without the backplates.  Is there any of you guys running conversions or standard disc brakes without these things?  Do I absolutely have to put these things on the car?  Ok, that's the rant for this week.
