Maybe those should go in “my pile”?!

 

[cruisermatt]

just a FYI those are 93-97 80 series backing plates, not 60 series

 

[shmukster]

Whoa, I was told they were for a 60 series. However the guy has a nice 60 and a nice 80, so you may be right. Is it a fact that they are for an 80?

Well, they don’t have any holes for the brake line junction, so there’s that.

Yes, check the part #. If they were 40/60/mini they would have the brake line junction and be worth >$400 for the pair IMO. That being said the spindle bolt pattern is the same and these may FIT a 40/60/mini spindle.

. . . and these may FIT a 40/60/mini spindle.

It'd be interesting to try them and see if they fit.

 

[shmukster]

In any event they are no longer available. Thank you Matt for the clarification I really appreciate it.

Happy to assist there, we stock em. As Matt noticed, they are 8x backing plates. OD is very similar on the two. They flange pattern is identical. The are some differences in the caliper opening that would need to be trimmed/modified and they lack the brake junction holes as Mark pointed out.

Thanks Kurt and Matt. It’s always ironic how much good, solid tech shows up in the classifieds. Both Johns ( @pardion and @Living in the Past ) are noted for it.
