Hello my friends. I have a Nova 8.5" rear end I'm having built for my 1968 Firebird. My question is about finding some new backing plates for it. I called my local parts store and was told they are no longer made.
Does anyone know what other plates will fit from other cars? Or, where I can buy some new ones? Thank you, and good day. Michael Fisher Clackamas, Oregon E-mail rr67gto@aol.com Build it fast, build it right, hold On TIGHT !!!

The '67-69 Firebird used the same backing plates. The Nova backing plates up through '74 had the little flange spotwelded on the edge, just like 12 bolt Nova's, Chevelles, Camaro's, & 8.2 Chevy 10 bolt offerings. This little flange can often catch your hand when "spinning" a drum on a singletrack rearend while out searching for posi's...ouch.
Need some nice clean backing plates, feel free & drop me an e-mail, have a big pallet stack of them from southern rearend cores I build off of.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
