Baywindow Bus Rear Backing Plate - 1971-79 - Left

This rear left-hand brake drum backing plate is a high-quality reproduction designed specifically for VW Baywindow Buses produced between 1971 and 1979 with the small 5-stud (5×112 PCD) wheel pattern. Essential for maintaining the integrity of your braking system, this backing plate provides a solid mounting surface for your brake shoes and associated hardware.

Located on the rear left side, this backing plate is responsible for keeping your brake components aligned and shielded from road debris, dust, and water. A clean and intact backing plate is critical to ensure consistent brake operation and extend the lifespan of your rear drum brake system.

This part is made to OEM specifications, ensuring a reliable fit and function with factory-style drum brake setups. It serves as the ideal replacement for damaged, corroded, or missing originals and is especially important during a rear axle rebuild or full brake system overhaul.

Note: This is specifically for Baywindow models using the later 5x112mm wheel bolt pattern introduced in 1971. It will not fit early models with the wide-5 bolt pattern.
