I call them 'skirts'. Most(all) cheap,err.. 'economy' decks don't have them..so you can run without. They may be there to protect the spindles from flying rocks ? or keep the spindles clean(ish) to help cool them. It would be nice to know what they're real purpose is, though. I made one from some thick 2 1/2" steel strapping to make the 'ring' or 'skirt', then welding washers on for 'mounting tabs'.I remember it tok me longer to find 'something' big and round to bend the strap around than it did to weld it up and the 3 or 4 washers !

I always thought they were designed to increase air flow for discharge purposes...(?) Steve@B&B ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |
