So I cleant up the FJ this weekend to try and get rid of all the built up dirt and grime and to well just make her look nice again(need to get some polish to really complete the job) Good news - i got most of the oil off, but with the oil leak(valve cover gasket)its basically back again..oh well

Bad news, while cleaning my front forks I noticed that the dust cover is missing from my right side break caliper. Couldnt tell you how long its been gone or anything, although, the past few days, the bikes breaks feel a little like they are pinching a bit more. My question is, is anything really bad gonna happen if I dont get a replacement dust cover? And where the heck would I find a replacement one?? From what I can tell they arent universal, or are they?

thanks for the input

Won't cause a problem, they're more for cosmetics than anything else....
