Repairing the disc protectors
The disc protector can be in bad shape, so it is best to fix it sooner
the better.
You remove it by unscrewing the three small bolts.
If these are real corroded, they will easily snap off. If so drill a new hole
and make new threads.
Scrape away all loose rust with an old cut iron and then with a wire brush.
Put on corrosion treatment, and then primers etc. If there are holes, put on
aluminum tape on both sides of these. And so two layers of black lacquer, and possibly a layer
of under-body treatment.
When mounting make sure that the top and bottom
screws (19) is facing towards you
(that you don't put them in from the other side). And that the disc protector is put on the correct way
(if you imagine your
shield as a bowl, then the upper side will be facing you). Put copper paste on the threads of the screws before
you put them in.
