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. > >________________________________ >From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 5:11 PM >Subject: [tcb] Re: HELP! > > > >OK, but aren't those things permanently mounted to the backing plate? > > > > >________________________________ >From: Ronnie <fracdogii@xxxxxxxxx> >To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> >Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 2:15 PM >Subject: [tcb] Re: HELP! > > > >I pulled the backing plates off to clean and paint. > >Sent from my iPhone > >On Dec 12, 2013, at 1:30 PM, Gary Alexander <garypalexander@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >Doesnt that piece stay mounted on the backing plate on the rear drums? >> >> >> >> >> >>On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 1:29 PM, Ronnie <fracdogii@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >>I have the star adjusters, I lost the piece that holds them.
