You'd think so but the responses I rec'd from PMs were that they wanted to keep the axles whole, so no luck there.

Well that's encouraging. But still would like something b/w the rotors and the potential birf soup splooge down the road.

That's a good idea, as long as the trim is capable of the high temps. I also thought, maybe a skim coat of some jbweld along the edge? lol
Might be easier to mould it once it sets up closer to the hardening process.
I've toyed(heh) with the idea of just making verticle cuts every few inches and then bending the existing edge straight/flat with some channel locks or vise grips. That way some of the lip is still there and the shield is still somewhat functional.
I'm going to have to go back in there for the wipers/seals in the future so hopefully by then I can find a used pair like retro suggested.
But right now I need my vehicle back on the road since my brakes are shot due to a seized caliper and it's worn rotor.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll let you all know how it turns out.
