    I removed 2 crumbling plates from the front hubs of a mini one recently. Not mentioned & car passed. Their function is negligible IMO. If they are in sh*t, remove them completely, thus taking away the opportunity for a tester to either fail them on dig deeper.

    Yes had many in for failed rusty back plates , NCT fail ,if they know that model has back plates and are not there they might still fail it. Its a chance you take.

    I just passed the nct with one missing and one bent back plate. If I get time this weekend, it will have two missing back plates.

    Rusty back plates are a fail and if they are removed thats also a fail but lots of people get through removing them, just depends who you get

    Mine are in a shocking state (and unobtainium as replacements) and didn't fail - definitely seems to be tester dependent if others have failed on them.
