I don't really want to get these as they are foreign made stuff, but mine (my front backing plates) are pretty ratty, and might end using repros instead. I will prob end up getting my caliper brackets replated in Zinc Dichromate as they seem very solid.

Prices are out of whack though... Fusick has front backing plates for $89.95 a pair, ILT for $45.00 a pair, then feebay for like $20 - $30 a pair. What gives? Different source/quality? Where is the best place to get them? tx

 

I can probably come up with some decent used backing plates and if you need caliper brackets too. Let me know if you decide to go used. John

 

Hey John, Did you get my latest email re the intake?

 

My caliper brackets are prob decent, they seem very solid. In re to front disc backing plates though... yes I think I will need them for sure. If I attempt to get mine blasted, it will prob ruin them. I mean they bend so easy.

 

Yes I did. I wanted to review today's posts before going through my email
John

 

okee.

I also got in touch with Chip @ powersteering .com. Sending him my gearbox and pump this week to be rebuilt, fast ratio, etc. I want to get as much done before it starts snowing here

 

What about rear drum backing plates? You have any smoooth pretty ones w/o acne? Mine are so pitted, I aint got the words.

 

In re to caliper brackets... what color were they originally? Gold Cad / ZinC Dichromate, or Tin Zinc color?

Have I reached my question quota for the day? LOL

 

blu4u, let me know when you can send that intake, price, etc.. I need to know soon. thx
