Cant seem to find a backing plate ?
Hello
I'm in the process of upgrading my brakes but am having a bit of trouble sourcing parts
I have a V3 Type R, which only has single pot calipers on the back. I'm looking to upgrade these to the later 2 pot ones
I've been told I need a backing plate off either a later type R, or a 2001 onwards STI, the problem is I cant seem to find one anywhere ?
I've called loads of breaker yards but no joy, can anyone help as I'm stumped ?

Stone guards? Just knock them off, there not essential.
Only 4 or 5 spot welds hold them in place.
Unless it's the adaptor brackets that is, you'll need them

I was told by godspeed that the V3 type R is the only year of car that had a different design on so need to upgrade to the newer style ?
Glad I'm not the only one thats not got a clue !
