They are for the SRB exhaust, they are moved into place after the crawler leaves.
Actually, they're moved into launch position as part of S0007.100 Launch Countdown pre-ops.
Which is after the crawler leaves

Which in turn is a long time after the crawler leaves which is after the MLP with the stack is harddown on the mounts at the pad.

I see, didn't know they were on rails..
I guess it would be to allow some free space for the crawler ?
You can see from the attached drawing how the side flame deflectors sit in the same space that the crawler needs to occupy when it moves the MLP over the flame trench. (click image to enlarge)

Believe it was a wheel of some sort that ejected the metal radially outwards into the area below the nozzles.
You're saying a mechanical device, like the wheel on top of a butane lighter? That's not how I understand it to work. I'd love to see a good closeup photo of that part of the TSM.
Here you go. I'm not sure if the pipe leading from the back of the unit to the wall of the TSM is a pressurized line to help ejecting the pelets or just a conduit for the wire carying the ignition circuit.

I note that KTTS (the shuttle landing facility) requires prior permission to land. I would think there would be a lot of general aviation applications for that facility. I would love to have a chance to land my Citabria on it. Any intel on the possibilities of general aviation utilization of the shuttle landing facility?

No, it would cause security issues

I remember reading you could do it WAY, WAY back in the 70's.

if you slow a launch video down, you can see a large flame light off from the ROFI before the sparks start....lends credibility to the fireworks style fountains that we all know.... wow, i would love to set a ROFI off this 4th of july... Believe it was a wheel of some sort that ejected the metal radially outwards into the area below the nozzles.
