C1 Brake Backing Plate Tab Repair

[Eric E.]

Are the tabs on the welded bracket on the backing plates repairable or is it better to just find a replacement set? Both of my rear plates are broken off.
I have looked in the archives and didn't find a thread that discusses this.
thanks, Eric

They are repairable but i would fine replacements . One of your looks rusty.1954 Chevrolet passenger car fronts and 55-57 passenger for the rears .Maybe 58 and 59 but not sure. Look on Ebay

Thanks Dan,
actually they are both the same amount of surface corrosion/rust. I just cleaned one and didn't do the other yet.
I miss the old boneyard days!
