Alastair1 10 Posted April 18, 2015 Does anyone know if aftermarket backing plates are available for Corrado 2.9 VR6. Tried VW & TPS and they are unavailable. Cant find any online, no even in ebay. I see no point in trying from a breakers. Even if a set from a Mk3 golf was similar it may be possible to redrill it to suit. Thanks Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 18, 2015 Not even available from VW any more? FFS :( May be worth taking a punt on a set for a MK3 and reporting back on your progress? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paddy26 3 Posted April 18, 2015 Are these the ones? Not sure on the size of original vr6 discs: https://ie.vwheritage.com/shop/corrado/191615309A/backing-plate-front-brakes-mk2-golf-jetta-256mm-280mm-discs/?crumbStartPage=1&crumbStartRow=1 \Paddy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 18, 2015 Says they'll fit 280mm brakes so.. *should* do the job? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted April 18, 2015 You don't really need them at the front but the mk4 312mm ones will work with an extra hole drilled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alastair1 10 Posted April 18, 2015 The full story. I replaced the rear a couple of years ago and at the same time purchased front ones only to find now that when I went to fit them now they were wrong. The 2 I have got are not handed possibly for the G60 but the packageing is long gone with the part No. They are the same as the one in the link. VR6 are handed P/No 3AO 615 311 L/H & 312 R/H (disk size 280) Will be a task for another day, want to get the front end back together and get the we beastie back on the road for the summer. Will try the Mk 4 golf ones as suggested. Thanks for all your comments Al Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
