  • Need Help Finding a part

    So I am replacing just about everything with the front brakes and almost everything on the back brakes, that is if I can find everything. Luckily autozone had just about everything. But the backing plates for both the back brakes are rusted really bad and really need to be replaced, I have checked autozone, o'reillys, carquest, advancedauto, napa, and a ford dealer and nobody even has them at all. If anyone knows where I can find them you will be my hero! Or if anyone has some for sale that are in good shape I will buy them. Any help or knowledge would be helpful in finding 2 backing plates. Thanks!

    I can pull you some from the yard here in Phoenix, there is a nice, completely rust free set at PAP. It'll be 35$ a side plus shipping.

      Is that how much the yard is asking for them? Seems a bit much for a junkyard part. I'll keep it in mind though and let you know. Thanks.

              Are you kidding me! The Gentleman just offered to take time out of his day. Take apart to rear brakes @ the JY. Package them up. Go the Post Office & ship them to you. You already found they ARENT AVAILABLE thru a parts store! But you can get rust free from a member? Man this really struck a nerve with me. You don't need help finding car parts. You need help finding some common sense. Don't be surprised to find him "OUT TO LUNCH" when you finally sober up.

                          ok let me clear some things up.
                          I know very little about brakes, I'm not doing the work just buying the parts. I'm learning as I go. I was not aware of the meaning of pap, now assuming it means pick and pull. So I was not aware that he would have to do alot of work to get the parts. I thought the $35 was just to cover the part, but thanks to shadetree I now know what the cost includes which is fair, but I think I have the right to question the cost of something if I am not certain. I am glad to see 4 people say that it's a good deal. I am already $200 into this so I didn't want to spend much more, so I have some other people looking for me, so if someone can find them cheaper for me I am going to take it. If nothing cheaper comes up I will be glad to pay $35 per side. I appreciate the reality check but you didn't need to be so rude. Thanks to everyone for your feedback. And like I said I'm learning as I go so go easy on me, this is my first car. I was not trying to get anyone fired up.

                            You should be able to clean up the ones you have. A wire brush or a small grinding wheel on an electric drill can do wonders as can a hammer and cold chisel. Some phosphoric acid treatment (eg. naval jelly) will convert any remaining iron oxide to iron phosphate. Once cleaned up you can paint them a pretty colour of rust-inhibiting paint. The actual braking surface is on the drum, not the backing plate.

                              I agree, I encourage you to look around. I only offered to get them for you to give me an excuse to go to the yard (pap), they actually do charge 35 a side because it's the same price for any vehicle and some trucks and vans have huge brake plates so they average it out. They will come with the slave cylinders springs pads and everything all usable, but I'm keeping the spindles. Again, zero corrosion! PM me of you want them.
