Dixie Restoration Front Brake Dust Shields

[78Regal350]

Does anyone have any experience using the new/repro front brake dust shields from Dixie Restoration Depot? I’m curious how accurate the fitment is.

81-88 Front Disc Brake Shields/Backing Plates (pair)

Are there any other suppliers who have quality repro dust shields?

Those look just like the Goodmark ones at RockAuto?

Well I am glad someone finally makes these, back when I did my Regal I had to use later model versions with ABS sensors that I had to grind off to use then but they worked well.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the ones from Dixie are Goodmark. What's really weird (and frustrating) about the OEM g body dust shields (p/n's 459757 & 459758) is that a NOS right side is still available from a LOT of places that sell new GM parts, and for like $30-40 including shipping, but the left side is essentially unobtanium.

GM has that weird thing that they'll discontinue one side of a pair (usally the left side from my experiances) even with good demand for both sides.
