Title: Type 3 Backing Plates Post by: RichardinNZ on March 10, 2015, 20:19:31 pm Hello
I'm looking for some Type 3 rear brake backing plates....does anyone have any? Thanks Richard Title: Re: Type 3 Backing Plates Post by: JIMP on March 10, 2015, 21:41:23 pm Hello Richard
if you dont find any you could use front backing plates from a 1302/3. You need some lathe cutting to the center hole -to make it bigger- and drill the four holes for the bearing plate that holds it in place, then you make the rectangular holes for the handbrake cables and you weld a nut there for the fixing, and here you go you have your t3 backing plates. That assuming that you can do those jobs or have somene to do them for you, cheers Friendly Dimitrios Title: Re: Type 3 Backing Plates Post by: richie on March 11, 2015, 11:33:04 am 4 lug or 5 lug?

I 'll be using 5 stud drums; I heard the backing plates for all swing axle T3 will work though (although 4 stud ones have the extra adjusting holes in them)? Thanks Richard Title: Re: Re: Type 3 Backing Plates Post by: RichardinNZ on March 12, 2015, 19:39:40 pm 4 lug or 5 lug? I might have some still Hi Richie cheers Richie Did you get a chance to see whether you had these? As mentioned in my post I am going 5 stud but understand that any type 3 swing axle backing plate will work? Many thanks Richard Title: Re: Post by: RichardinNZ on March 15, 2015, 02:17:49 am Still looking for these and have a bit of a deadline!
