Default How necessary is ECU brass kickplate cover?

I'm a diehard for saving weight, and was just going to leave it off, anybody see any reason not to?

Thx!

If you don't mind it not being covered, then leave it uncovered.

I mean it's not structural nor does it keep moisture out. I don't think there would be any harm removing it. If anything, it's used, possibly, as a heat barrier or way to mount the harness in a tidy manner.

<p>&quot;Hey guys, how necessary is my ribcage? &nbsp;I mean, I know it protects my heart and all, but do I really need it?&quot;</p><p>Think about it, OP. &nbsp;Take a wild guess. &nbsp;Are you seriously asking if you need part of the ******* casing for your ECU? &nbsp;There's a whole bunch of stupid going on ITT right now.</p>

Not the casing itself, the cover that essentially holds the ECU in place (at least that's what I'm understanding it as).

I just left it off, and was only wonderin if anybody else left theirs off since it's not necessary. ECU bolted right up fine without it.
