paulmanta Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I swear I get a different ebay to everyone else! I looked and there were none listed that I could see. I'll watch those and might buy them if they stay reasonable priced, I don't want the drums so that might make it lighter to post. I have put a bid on, I have none here and 4 mantas, one of which has a disc conversion that is coming off and getting replaced with the drums. So buying 2 pairs might be a good idea so I have a spare pair to restore and store until I need them. Snowy, thanks, if they are self adjuster type and not the ones with the big captive bolts then I'm interested. P.

Julian Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I was looking to get hold of a pair of backplates a couple of years ago, because the hexigan heads of the adjusters had worn round, I failed to find any, so I welded new hexigan heads that I cut of bolts, on to the existing adjusters, PERFECT!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut into adjusters, that where pyramid shape! Made the stump round, enough to fit inside 17mm nut, copper washer first then nut welded on, perfect! Back to original. Copper washer, holds it tight, no slack without moving with socket! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
