Rear brake back plates

Post by MikeR »

Hi,
I know that's I'm looking for the impossible but does anyone have any decent secondhand rear brake back plates as mine are like lace curtains. :|
Thanks

I made some for mine from galvanised sheet, then welded them to the centre section of the old rear plate (which is thicker metal than the outer sections.

If they can't be repaired then replacements have to be around somewhere, especially as the car shares so many parts from other marques.
Time for some x ref. :twisted:

They aren't, but if you want to look, they're modified Toyota items. There's a part number for them somewhere on here.
