Splitscreen Bus Front Backing Plate - 1955-63 - Right

This front right-hand brake backing plate is a high-quality replacement for all VW Splitscreen Buses from 1955 to 1963. As a core component of the front drum brake assembly, the backing plate supports the brake shoes, springs, adjusters and wheel cylinder while shielding the braking system from dirt, water and debris. Maintaining a solid, corrosion-free backing plate is essential for consistent, safe braking performance.

A damaged or rusted backing plate can cause misaligned shoes, uneven wear, dragging brakes or reduced stopping power. This replacement plate is manufactured to original specifications for a precise fit on the front right side (RHD driver’s side), ensuring correct alignment and proper functioning of your early Splitscreen braking system.

Ideal for restorations, brake rebuilds, or replacing worn original components.

Fitment:
• VW Splitscreen Bus: 1955–1963
• Front right-hand side (RHD driver’s side)
• Direct replacement for original brake backing plate
