Rear handbrake backing plates for MOT

My blue calibra is in for MOT, mentioned to the garage that the handbrake needed looking at, seemed to pull on only one wheel. Phone call today, brake works fine, just not attached to anything....and not available from Vauxhall. Two new plates from Germany on it's way, large amount of cash going in the opposite direction

I got a new O/S one and had it reversed to fit N/S

Did you drill out all the spot welds then switch position 180 deg to get it to work then weld it up? Never seen one close up but looks like a two piece item from the photo.

Sooooooo ..... after paying off Germany's national debt and giving my local Garage the equivalent of a win on the Lotto, I get my Calibra back with a years ticket and head off to Clumber Park to celebrate!?! while all of you are working hard - that means the parks empty and I get to sit down for a cappuccino (with her indoors) without the hordes at the weekend. Took the photo of the approach road to the visitor facilities inside Clumber Park as it was all very Autumn
