Backing Plates availability

[pHarps]

Does anyone know if you can still get the Backing plates for the '97 80 series?
They aren't available in Canada anymore?

47781-60061 Backing Plate (1997 Landcruiser or LX450) $47.71
47782-60061 Backing Plate (1997 Landcruiser or LX450) $47.71

I'd like to start getting parts together to upgrade my '91's brakes to the bigger brakes.

Also are there opinions about OEM calipers vs aftermarket. The remanufactured Cardon calipers are much cheaper then the Toyota, but I am concerned about quality (safety).

Thanks,

Hit up Arcteryx he has a lot of parts and has good prices.

I replaced one caliper when i did my brakes last year. I had a reman in my hands from the parts store down the street. I get a great discount on Toyota parts because I work at a dealership. Decided for the price difference I bought the Toyota. When it came in I think I paid $30 to $40 more for the same reman caliper. They looked exactly the same. I don't know if there is more to Toyota's reman process or if they send them somewhere. Just my 2 cents.

I'd like to replace my rear backing plates. I can find the front backing plates, but not the rear, anyone have a part number for the rear backing plates?

My rear plate was looking rusty, if its discontinued, I guess I better clean my up and paint them before they are gone from rust.

Why not just eliminate them?

Why not just eliminate them?

good question, more information? Pros/Cons?

 

[Akella]

front backing plates are still available you just got wrong part number.

47781-60100 $47.48
47782-60100 $47.48

I have them in stock.

Rear ones are still available but damn expensive

 

[ironhippy]

Do we actually have part numbers for the rear backing plates? I got the wrong ones.

 

[ironhippy]

I've found:

47043-60130
47044-60080

But I'm not sure if that is correct

Ok I'm a little slow, are we talking about rear brake pads and calipers here.

 

[ironhippy]

nope, backing plates, look something like this:

Ok I see, had to go look at my truck to put the pieces together. How often do these bad boys go bad? When they do how do you know? Mine has 160,000 miles. As far as I know they are the ones that came on it.

 

[ironhippy]

mine are only going bad because I live where they salt the roads so rust is my problem. If they still look painted you probably good for a fair amount of time.

anybody know where i can find fronts for 82 bj60?

Actually i could use fronts and backs if i could get em but even a used passenger side one would cheer me up for now. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the rears are still available for the 93-97 FF axles, however they are pretty pricey OEM. The rear backing plates can't be completely eliminated because the rear caliper mount is integrated into the backing plate. Plus you will have a big hole in the back of the rotor hat.

I got a set used in great shape when I rebuilt my FF a few years ago for my axle swap.

On the front, if you are upgrading a 91-92 to the later model then just trim yours down to make a spacer ring and run without. That's what I did on mine.

I used all NAPA parts on my front and rear brakes and have been quite happy..

Anyone have big concerns about trimming the fronts down and running without like jynx suggested? I am about to upgrade my 92 fronts to the larger brakes also.

On my mini[truck I trimmed them down and it worked fine. On my 80, I must have decided to eliminate them completely. I just checked and there is no sign of them being there anymore. No problems to report by taking them off.

does anyone seel backing plate for 1994 fj80 driver side rear

 

[oszkari]

Hi, I'm in the process of changing the rear backing plates on my 1991 HDJ81. I have ordered 46504-60050 (LH) and 46503-60050 (RH). Funny enough the RH side came with the oil seal + mounting bolts whereas the LH is missing it. Both are OEM. Can anybody help me out with the part number for the oil seal (red arrow on pic). I have been looking at 3 different places and I still cannot find it. Thanks!
