RIP260Z Posted October 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2019 View Advert Early front brake back plates Hi, I understand on the early S30's, they had a front brake backing plate with a baffle for extra cooling, part numbers 41151-E4100 and 41161-E4100. After a pair. Used, rusty is fine, as long as not holed or bent too much.

M3333hp Posted October 4, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I would call the air scoop on the early backing plate an air scoop instead of a baffle. Both early Z cars that I have owned had a scoop on the front brake backing plates. The attached photo shows a front brake of a very early car that I am restoring with a scoop on the backing plate. There are some 240Zs coming out of the woodwork, and in some cases, dirt or mud, now that values have gone way up for the early cars. You might get someone to part with early backing plates of you contact sellers of those early cars. But be aware that the hub and brake disc will have to come off first, and then the (maybe) rusted bolts that hold the backing plate on, before the backing plate can be removed.
