Where to buy E30 rear backing plates?

[MaxBell]

My rear handbrakes is (obviously) torn through the backing plate, so I want to replace them.

I can't seem to find them! (I'm in Canada) I looked on PelicanParts and AutoPartsWay.com. Where else could they be?

[Cephas]

Bavauto? They were on rhere several years ago when I needed them.

Edit. They are there.

Do I have to remove the rear hub to take these out?

[jlevie]

Yes. Which means you'll need to replace the bearings.

[MaxBell]

That sounds like a srs job...

*sigh* PUT IT ON THE LIST!!

Got mine from ecstuning.

I know this is probably too late for the OP, but a great trick to get your car back on the road with working ebrakes until you have the time/motivation to replace the backing plate is to get a hardware from a different car that has retaining cups (and longer pins), and use them instead. I usually just bring the stock pin in, and look through the hardware kits until I find one that works. Lots of cars out there are set up that way from the factory, so although it might not be bmw spec, it is perfectly safe and durable. When I worked at a used car dealership, we used to use that method all the time. It is how one of my rears is currently set up (I believe I used some gm sedan hardware kit), and although I have new backing plates in a box, I am going to let it go until I need to take it all apart to replace the wheel bearings.
