Handbrake back plate

[pmessling]

Does any one with a car in bit have a handbrake back plate that they could measure?

I'm after the thickness of the plate where the wheel bearing fits as it's thinner then the whole plate.

Thanks in advance

If no one gets back to you before I can do it Friday.

There's no rush so that would be perfect.

I may be able to check it for you as I had mine disintegrate last year and had to replace it, I'm sure I have the bits of the old one somewhere.

The minimum thickness of the plate where it bolts to the hub carrier is 8m/m,however around the main bore there is a lip which is 10.5m/m thickness(3m/m wide lip).The backplate is 12.35m/m thick at its thickest point.Hope this answers your question?

Thanks for that 8mm is what I'm after.

Having removed most of the corrosion from the backplates, they are surprisingly thinner in places.

However since they're almost £200 for a pair I think I'm going to try to reuse them, as there's no corrosion around the bolt holes.

I bought a complete s/h hub from Bell Hill Garage for £80 when I replaced my backplate.
