You can cut the dust cover out or grind it down so its fit the TT brake disc!

I have went from v8 to TT rotors and calipers.

You have 3 choices

Remove the 2 bolts, Hub etc. (pffff, yeah right)

Grind it back (no thanks, dodgy)

Remove the 2 bolts and cut and bend the cover till it came off. And have no dust cover (thats what i did)

I fitted even bigger rotors and calipers from a Lexus LS400 and just bent the covers back a little to get the clearance.

Thanks,i think i will be doing the same.Do they fit around the rotors or behind when bending them.I mean do you bend the lips or the whole guard?
