Brake overhaul
Hello everyone,
I am planning a rear brake overhaul i.e. new discs / calipers and backplates along with any cables etc. for the barely adequate handbrake.
The only thing l am struggling with is obtaining some replacement back plates.
Please could anyone advise.
Best wishes,
Phil Wood.

Re: Brake overhaul
Changing the backing plates is a big job. Thats why lots of people just rip off the old rusted ones and leave them.

I'm currently thinking the same thing and updating the callipers, discs and pads. Is it still a pain once everything has been taken out?
Like the OP, it'd be nice to have it all looking A1
