[Richie]

Hi everybody:

Where can one order some of those little dust plugs that fit into the backing plates? I tried searching but can't find them, I need the for an 8 3/4. Thanks.

Wow ! $15. ?? ( plus shipping I'm sure)

I think l would take a $20 bill and go to PAP.
Pay the $2 to get in. Find a few and throw them in my pocket.
Stop on way home and have a beer or two.
Get home and still have change from the $20 left over.

Have you checked with Lordco? They blow me away sometimes with the stuff they have for our cars.

Not the adjuster plug the little round one the size of a dime...Probably why I'm having such a hard time trying to find one

I got 3 sets of backing plates right in front of me.
The only hole l see about that size is where the.emergency / park brake cable goes through.

Any other hole is something someone has drilled in there.

MAYBE / POSSIBLY ..a pic of said hole would help ????

Brakes are from Mopar madness about 10 years ago and everything is just getting put together now...See the little bugger to your left? I need another one. Maybe I'll just get a big packet of plugs and get lucky with one the right size

[oldmodlover]

That is where e- brake cable goes thru.
Get ya one of those little chrome push in plugs the correct diameter , put ya a LITTLE black sillykone around it. Let it tack up for about 5 minutes and install.

 

[Tooljunkie]

Ah. Well that’s different.
There is usually a knockout there. Backing plates are universal for left/right.
Plug was knocked out at some point.

No it's hooked up in front you're looking from the rear of the car

Ok at least I know now why it was so hard to find...or not find what I was looking for lol. Nest time ..pictures first..sorry about that

 

[oldmodlover]

Well still... Put ya a chrome plug in there. It really ain't hurting anything being open

 

[oldmodlover]

Backing plate was probably swapped out in the past.

Think that's what I'll do

 

[oldmodlover]

You mean we were chasing our tails for a plug that was never used from the factory?
If you ask a question, always post a photo of what you are talking about. Sorry for the rant.

Agree 108.2 % !!!!!

I'm all for helping someone / new guy out.
I am one. We all were at one time.

But DAMN.......
