I have a spare set of backing plates that Irecently picked up that are about as perfect as can be for a 30+ year old part subjected to weather.
I've always thought that these came originally with a satin black finish, and these DO have that finish (said to be original by the PO). However, strikes me that a saw a post on one of the forums several months ago indicating these parts had originally been cad or zinc dichromate coated w/no paint. Anyone out there have more info about this........... |

The PET shows the -6 backing plates to be from a 911 application and the -4 to be from a VW, that would explain the difference in finishes. Every four I've seen was black but I don't know what type exactly.
