Rear Brake Back Plate

[dc399uk]

I could do with a couple of these. Does anyone know:
1 - Where I might find 'em
2 - How easy to fit? (Done pads and discs before but not the back plate?)
I think the part number is 47881-17020

Thanks

These are hens teeth to get hold of.
You cant buy them new anymore so most people have just cut them off.
I have a set of quite good ones which i was planning on rebuilding and having a cast made from them to make some plastic or fiberglass ones if there is any interest but i could be a while

Thought they might be rare. Luckily can't really see them through the oem alloys much. Would be interested in a pair if you made some up. Fibreglass be ok you think? Just wondered about heat?

I have a brand new set lying in my garage (can't remember if they are front or rear ones) They are NOT for sale but I might be persuaded to let them be used as templates, not sure that fibreglass would be up to the job given the thickness they need to be. When I get home I'll seek advice from a couple of fibreglass guys that I know, see what they think, cost wise it might not be worth it.

ooh that sounds good, the fronts i was hoping to repair arnt to bad but they are missing the vents. have have some almost new back ones though. i was thinking about the possibility of 3d scanning and printing as an option aswell

Now that does sound like a plan :cool:
Do you have access to a 3D scanner/printer ?
