any benefit to pb block off plate?
« on: May 24, 2008, 11:28:44 AM »
mine seized up and i was wondering.... other than cosmetic, is there any benefit to putting on one of those plates vs. just disconnecting the cable from the rear caliper?

As long as no wires are exposed, etc. I'm sure it's more cosmetic.
