Nearside brake vent plate

[Lucky]

As it says, really. I'm after a front brake vent plate deflector channel guide thing doobrie. No idea what the proper name for it is, does it show?

Basically, one of these;



but for the nearside (left side). Not too bothered if it's rusty but would like a sound one that isn't full of holes and rotten, please. Cheers!

chucked 2 shotblasted and repainted ones away yesterday and the skip was changed this afternoon talk about bad timing
and what a crap design they are... surely plastic ones would have been 100 times better?

Dang I was up in Staffordshire over the weekend, too Too spooky!

yeah, plastic would have been much more sensibler. The FD ones are all plastic, as is the undertray. It's not as if Mazda hadn't heard of plastic when they were knocking out Series 3s, but maybe they had a whole warehouse full of already-made steel ones

I think both of mine are pretty much dust

Bump?

Is this the same thing?

Hey, Adam. No, sadly not. That's the brake backing plate, it just has a vent built into it. The one I want is a plate that goes inside the bottom of the front wing, in front of the wheel arch. It picks up air from the vents in the front bumper and directs it towards the brakes.

Ah i see,
Iv never seen these before but to be fair the best part of them probably melted away into oblivion before i was even born.
There have most defiantly not been any on the cars iv scrapped so far and they were all stripped to within an inch of there life
Good look with the hunt.

Yeh mine are chromed after bought them new from Mazda 20 years ago.In that moment little rust is coming, but cannot use them because of the moded front. You doesn't really need them in uk with speed limited
In high speed germany the will be helpfull
