Baywindow Bus Front Backing Plate - 1968-70 - Right

This front right-hand brake backing plate is a high-quality replacement for early Baywindow Buses built from 1968 to 1970 equipped with the wide 5 (5×205) wheel stud pattern. The backing plate is an essential part of the front drum brake assembly, providing the mounting base for the brake shoes, springs, adjusters and wheel cylinder. It also shields the assembly from dust, dirt and moisture—key for maintaining safe, consistent braking.

Original plates often suffer from rust, pitting or distortion, which can cause brake shoes to misalign, leading to uneven braking, noise, or reduced stopping power. This OE-style replacement ensures correct alignment and restores proper braking performance. It is designed to fit accurately on the front right side (RHD driver’s side) with no modification needed.

Perfect for restorations, brake system rebuilds or replacing badly corroded original parts.
