Does anyone know where i can get and new rear hub backing plate? I had a strange scraping metal sound the other day and it turned out to be one of the pins securing the handbrake shoes had come through the backing plate of the rear hub (there is now a big hole where there should be a little slot). Ths had gotten stuck between one of the shoes and the disk. I have welded it up for now as a temporary fix but the handbrake is now dragging.

edit - I have looked on the jdht site but cant find it on there. The diagram for the rear hub doesn't include it for some reason.

 

Hi, you could find it in the braking system section on jdht.
Braking system > Brake disc and calipers > Brake disc and calipers - rear
It's kind of expensive though.

 

I would try getting a used one from Coventry West.

 

OMG that is expensive! I dont know why i didn't look there, it seems quite obvious now lol.

I think i may just get a used hub on ebay then and strip it for the backing plate. I would try coventry west but i fear the shipping costs to england might make it a bit expensive

Cheers guys!

 

speedy- I thought of that, but I know several posters have said they imported stuff from there. why not drop them an e-mail and see?

 

Ok will do
