Isn't there a paper gasket that goes there for the original backing plate.
 That might take up the gap...

I'd need about 30 paper gaskets to make up the gap....  I may have to have the backing plate machined. Dan

swing axle delima
Fellow Glookers,
The solution will probably be as follows Atatched pics: Pic 08, the backing plate cover/seal Machine down the size of the actual backing plate thickness. it is only a few mm's. Or shave off all backing plate sheet metal and hardware (seems tough) then bolt on the porsche backing plate Pic 03, shows actual porsche caliper mount/backing plate. Pic 07 shows hub machined down. picture is deceptive, the ring that holds the actual disc is still intact. I think I will probably ship my king pin front cb spindles to Canada. They seem to know what there doing at http://www.volkszone.com Koo ro ku ku ku rooo ku ku. Ill send more pics when avail. Ralph

Actually - the solution was to find the proper backing plates.
I found a few sets of these backing plates and bought 'em up. They fit perfectly and work with the stock vw bearing cap and gaskets.   Dan

When I was buying my brakes at Porschapart, I remember seeing a backing plate that was genuine and fabricated out of machined and pressed steel. It looked interchangable with the cast part in the pics, when compared side by side. 924S? Matt

MBT has them but they're spendy. I thought I had another set hiding - as I bought a few sets at the time. But it looks like I don't. I've called every Porsche breaking yard across the US and no one has them. They're off an early early n/a 944 if I remember correctly. Dan
