Backplate for drum rear brakes for TARO

Post by hammern »

So i bought a rusty and worn out Taro as a winter project and a car where i could have my bikes on the back! But i need to completely restore the rear drum breakes. But the backing plate of the rear drum brake was eaten up by rust and i need to replace them. I talked with my local dealership but i believe they are overpricing the items?

So my question is, where can i order backplates for the drum brakes online? The car is an Taro 1994Mod

Hi and welcome Taffen! :thumbup:

Unfortunately the dealers usually add a hefty premium to their spare parts. I don't know how things work in Norway, but here you can buy pirate parts in a wide variety of spares where there is a demand. Drum brake backing plates are not a frequently replaced item so I doubt you will find a pirate replacement, but what about scrap yards?

Hope you come right. :winkx:
