I replaced my backing plate some time ago. It was an eye-waveringly expensive £300 for the part. When I picked it up, I realised why, it weighs next to nothing.
Thankfully, it doesn't require the hub or anything to be removed, it just bolts on behind the disc. I was very, very careful handling the disc and refitting the wheel. |

Mine had disintegrated around the securing holes and I was lucky to find a decent aluminium welder locally. He welded some aluminium discs in the holes and they are back on the car. Cost? 1/10 of what a new shield would cost.

I saw that on your other thread on the topic. What a great idea! I'm glad it worked out for you.
I made sure I used plenty of assembly grease around the bolt holes to try and minimise future corrosion. Like yours, my disc retaining bolt stripped. I have a replacement but I haven't fitted it yet. |

My TPS used to put mine through as random local taxi firms. Latterly they just said Trade Cash on the invoice. I haven't been since the spring though, maybe they have banned ordinary civilians too. Thanks for the heads up - will have to set up a business for the missus.
I have never seen these wheel tommy-bars before so will look into those. Good luck with the disks/backing jobs. Thanks. |
