Thanks Robb.  I bought one off the Samba.

I have a backing plate or 2 for a 67 bus, but I'll have to think about wether 
or not I want to part with them. They're part of my forever stash. :p

Ronnie:  If those things really unbolt from the backing plate and you can't 
find them you may be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.  Backing plates 
and the pieces that "permanently" mount to the backing plate for a bus are not 
reproduced by anyone, which puts you in the position of looking for a used set. 
 And used split bus parts that are not being reproduced are super hard to find. 
 As noted in another response; give Ronnie a call; if anyone knows of their 
availability he will.
