Driver side wheel well guard

[Quickstop [UK]]

I am about to remove the wheel well gaurd from the car for access and I am under the impression that this is a common thing to do, as well as leaving it off afterwards...?

The anti lock braking assembly and another component are braced onto the wheel arch though.

Can Iremove it and leave them floating until I get a brace made up or is this the reason the ABS Delete kits are so popular?

I don't think this truck will ever be finished.....

If you still have the ABS on your truck you DO NOT want to remove the wheel well. The unit is fairly heavy and as you have noticed, it is supported by the wheel well. Leaving it hanging unsupported like that is asking for the lines to fatigue and break leaving you without brakes. Not recommended...

Removing the wheel wells cools things down under the hood considerably however, the result is a FILTHY engine bay since alll the road debris will get thrown inside. If my truck was a trailer/track queen, I would do it but not for a truck that is street driven :2cents:.
