    I've had a few sets, and like todd, they have all been FIRMLY attached to the backing plate. To the point where i gave up and just asumed they were welded together! lol.

    The dust cover is spot welded to the mounting bracket in 4 places.

    lol thanks tim. I guess I was trying to say 'whacked' as in ' It's got me confused'

    yeah thanks for all your help fellas. I bought all my parts individually and I guess neither my calipers or struts came with the dust plate/brackets. And being a noob i didnt realise I was missing it.

    I found a set of brackets in Brisbane and so it should all be sweet.

    Thanks again for your swift answers. Much appreciated.

    Somoene was probably using a brake upgrade which came with caliper brackets and wanted to keep them.
