Brickwerks budget brake back plates

Post by Bulldog1 »

I'm not sure I've posted this in the right section, so apologies if not.

Has anyone used the budget, rear back plates from brickwerks?

What is the difference between these and the standard, except thirty quid?

Any help appreciated.

The original is thicker and zinc plated. The budget is thinner and black painted.
The OE will last for 15-20 years as the ones you want to change, the budget will do half of time

Thanks,

I may do as Kev suggests and treat the cheaper back plates.

They are less than half the price.

Thanks MM

I spoke to gsf in Manchester and they said they didn't do them!!!!

It appears that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at GSF.

I may give them another call.
