Anyone make backing plates?

Searched.

Found BajaScott may have offered them at one time. But last I checked he hasn't been on here for a while.

Bought a set of knuckles with backing plates already welded in by a member on DR who got them at the swap meet. Didn't notice that the steering arm on one of the knuckles was shaved down to almost half the original thickness. Plus the plate wasn't lined up to the existing holes so the bolts will not go through. I don't think these are usable. I don't want to spend the time fixing them.

Anyone else make these or have CAD files?

Thanks

I have some new old stock BajaScott plates. PM me if you are interested.

What are these ? Are they plates made so that you can run stock knuckles and a multi piston caliper.

These are steel plates that are welded to the back side of the knuckle so as to reinforce where the snout/spindle bolts to.

The are plates welded to the backside of the spindle mounting surface in the knuckle. The reinforce the knuckle around the spindle studs where they have been seen to break
