Hi thanks for suggestion.You could almost get down to that by removing the upper and lower rubber plates and for nothing mate T:T:T: Mine never had the lower ones and if you want something in place of the uppers you can buy lowering plates from Tidytransporters or T4s R Us or just make some from thin rubber like i did T:T:T:
plates are there for a reason noise and corrosion to shock plate. some are happy some not. i would say removing the bottem ones is no issue! top ones you will notice you bus your fun! :ILU:Hi thanks for suggestion.
Is there any down side to removing the upper and lower plates, what are their function.
