2002-09-09 Thread Aaron Johnson
I'm looking for one two sets of GT6 backing plates from an early car. I've got the fronts upgraded and need to upgrade the back. They don't need to be in super good condition, they just can't be from the cars with the self adjusting drums. Of course the cheaper than better. aaron /// [EMAIL
