Baywindow Bus Rear Backing Plate - 1968-70 - Left

This rear left-hand brake drum backing plate is a high-quality replacement for early Baywindow Buses from 1968 to 1970 fitted with the classic wide 5 (5×205) wheel stud pattern. The backing plate forms the structural foundation of the rear drum brake assembly, providing the mounting surface for the brake shoes, springs, adjusters and wheel cylinder while shielding the braking components from water, dust and road debris.

Over the decades, original backing plates often suffer from corrosion, cracking or distortion, which can lead to poor brake shoe alignment, uneven braking or reduced stopping power. This OE-style replacement restores correct geometry and ensures reliable rear braking performance. Manufactured to original specifications, it fits directly onto the rear left side (RHD passenger side) with no modification required.

Perfect for restorations, brake overhauls or replacing heavily rusted or damaged original plates on early Baywindow models.
