Drum Brake c2 ( 64) - availability of replacement brake backing plates ?

[Gary P.]

I am in the process of restoring my c2, and would really like to replace my very rusty front and rear brake backing plates. Does anyone know of a source for these plates ? Are any companies doing a repro of these items - so far I have had no luck searching the internet. Help !!!!

Hi Gary,

Look in your Drive Line Magazine for David - California Clean (310) 329 5334. David is a wonderful resource and he has everything Corvette.

Gary, I have not seen the backing plates reproduced. I do believe the plates from a passenger car are different at least for the front. Not sure about the back. The usual place to look is ebay, but be careful.

Good Luck.
