A310 rear brake backplates

[johnb]

I am looking for a pair of rear brake backplates for A310, 3 stud wheel model. Does anyone have any?

Hi there Have owned A310's for many years and my current A310 I have known from new. Factory built 1978 V6 3 stud. It does not have brake back plates on the rear. I can only assume after 1978 they were not fitted.
Hope this is of some use.

Yes it does help Paul.
When I stripped the suspension I did wonder why there weren't backplates at the rear when they are fitted at the front. I put the question on the forum because when I watched the Wheeler Dealers programme on the A310 this car had backplates fitted at the rear (at 24.40 into the programme). Seeing this I presumed that mine should have them being a 3 stud model.
Your comment about pre 1978 cars having the backplates appears to fit as the Wheeler Dealer car was quoted as being a 1977 model and mine is 1980.
So that's one less part to source.
