406 handbrake 'backplate'?

Jun 11, 2009 2 Replies

Hello all.



Excuse my ignorance, as I have very little mechanical knowledge.



I have been told that I need to get a pair of handbrake backplates (as they have corroded), along with other items for the retest on my 1999 406 v6. I have found all the other items (cable, discs, pads, shoes) except the backplates. I can't seem to find a reference for them anywhere.



Apparently, the rear discs/drums fix on to the backplates (which I presume is attached to the rear axle). Could someone provide the proper name for these things, part no. and where I can get them please? Is this a dealer only part?



Thanks in advance for your contributions.

It's a backplate. Always has been, always will be. What is there not to understand?

I would not expect 3rd party motor factors to be able to supply back plates. Must be a very limited market for them. Try a dealer for new parts or a breakers yard for used ones.
