    You cannot get these from Carquest? I was looking at them today in the store. Perhaps not this exactly same part number, but they had various 3M backing plates.

    Man when I read your post you made me smile bro :beerbang: now you see why I keep using the 3M pad it's the mother :meditation: of all backing plates :gidiup:

    glad your pleased with your purchae FMINUS....oh by the way what is the difference of the two pads you got? The yellow one and the um..grey backing plate? I only have the yellow foam backing plate and I'm pleased with it...I go a few more coming to...oh I'm guessing that your 3m Backing plates are 5/8th thread right.

    The grey ones are a tad big firmer. Yea, mines the 5/8.

    Best backing pads around. Less vibration

    Yup, a case would be wicked bro!!! They are completely different bread of backing plates. If you need a contact in UK you can always go to Rich at Polished Bliss, just in case you need a UK person.

    I've only used the yellow one FMINUS, but I'd be curious to try the grey one, I don't know I personaly like the yellow has a wicked feel to it. I like the idea of half and half though :thumb:

    Oh the best part is when you try to remove the foam pads from the 3M backing plate :rollinglaugh:
