Title: wtb rear wheel backing plate
Post by: 72vwtype2 on November 26, 2014, 10:32:00 PM

I need rear wheel backing plates for my 72 bus. Of course because it's a 72 it may be a one year only item. I need ones in good shape. The problem with mine are the adjusting holes have been excessively "stretched". Let me know what you have.

Thanks.

Try welding the holes and redrilling. The backing plates are thick metal so they should be fairly easy to weld up.

Just tried to carefully remove my rear passenger side brake backing plate, but ended it trashing it beyond repair.

Anyone have one from a 72 bus?

I will try to post a pic soon.

Thanks.

Westy 69? Jerry might have some.
