Brake Disc Cover Plate, Front

Restore an important protective component of your classic Porsche braking system with this OE Match Front Brake Disc Cover Plate. The cover plate sits behind the front brake disc and helps protect the braking assembly from road dirt, stones, water and other debris.

Fits:

• Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)  

On early Porsche 911 models, the original cover plates can suffer significant deterioration after decades of exposure to moisture, road contamination and repeated heating and cooling cycles. Replacing a damaged or heavily corroded plate is particularly worthwhile when carrying out a front brake overhaul or restoration.

What Does a Brake Disc Cover Plate Do?

The front brake disc cover plate, also commonly referred to as a brake backing plate or dust shield, sits behind the brake disc and provides a protective barrier around the braking assembly.

Its functions include:

• Helping shield braking components from road debris
• Reducing exposure to dirt and contamination
• Protecting the rear face of the brake disc area
• Maintaining the correct factory-style brake assembly
• Providing a complete finish during restoration

Why Do Brake Disc Cover Plates Fail?

Brake disc cover plates operate in a harsh environment where they are continuously exposed to moisture, road grime, heat and temperature changes.

Age-related corrosion is particularly common on classic Porsche 911 models. The plate can eventually weaken, crack or lose material around its edges and mounting points.

Damage may also occur during previous brake, wheel bearing, hub or suspension work. A distorted plate can potentially contact the rotating brake disc and create unwanted scraping or rubbing noises.

When Should They Be Replaced?

Replacement should be considered when:

• The original plate is heavily corroded
• Sections have rusted away
• The plate is cracked or distorted
• Mounting points are damaged
• The plate is rubbing against the brake disc
• Restoring or rebuilding the front braking system
• Carrying out a comprehensive classic
• Porsche restoration

Replacing deteriorated cover plates while the front brake assembly is already dismantled can also help avoid additional labour later.

Porsche 911 1965-68 Front Brake Disc Cover Plates

Maintaining the braking system of an early Porsche 911 involves more than replacing brake discs and pads. Protective components such as the front brake disc cover plate can deteriorate considerably over time and should be inspected whenever the front braking, hub or wheel bearing assembly is dismantled.
