Today I had someone tell me the brake backing plates forRPO 684 C1 Corvettes were different than the standard Corvette backing plate. Obviously, I knew the 684 had cooling screens, but I was discussing the plate itself. He went on to state that they came from Chevy trucks of the same vintage. I have several pictures of original 684 plates and I decided to compare them to 47-55 Bendix and 55-59 Bendix plates. The most distinguishing marks on either of those plates do not match the characteristics of the RPO 684 plates.
Can someone either validate or refute this claim?
