Hi all.

Im in the process of ordering new brakes, drums, discs, pads etc, front and back and when taking a look at the front brakes I noticed the Disc backing plate totally rusted and falling apart, a total mess.

Do I need the front brake back plates or can they be removed and not replaced?
Does anyone know if these reproduction back plates would be suitable for a 1982 2.0l Aircooled?

All Brickwerks stuff is very high quality - you're best bet is to just give them a ring, or drop Simon an email and they will tell you what you need
Who knows, Mr Baxter himself may well be along to answer this himself

Seriously give him a bell or an email and he WILL tell you what you need

Cheers, my mates doing the brakes so will see what price he says for these plates, likelyhood is im gonna get them from brickwerks me thinks!

The early ones are pressed and not easily re-made.
There are some aftermarket ones out there, made by Klokerholm, but they aren't the best.
You don't really need them either, not legally.
I do the later style ones as they are easily done as they are flat.

Cheers for the reply Simon,

Mine is an 82' - will the flat style ones fit ok?? the current ones (original?) have the various curves etc

No, they are not interchangable

Thanks Simon, I'll just remove them for now me thinks, if they are not a legal requirment.
