70 disc brake backing plate numbers
« on: January 24, 2021, 09:06:23 PM »
I have seen an number of restored cars having white paint-stamped part numbers on the front disc brake backing plates. They typically have  C9OA-2K00-B for the left side and C9OA-2K004-B for the right side. Did this happen on assembly-line cars or is it something associated with service parts?

Guess your referring to the large black dust shields?

Date coding in stamp form on the back side of drum brake backing plates I've seen and have made but I don't have a picture, recall seeing and no one has mentioned to me about a stamping as you describe related to the disc brake assembly.

Would need to see a picture to comment further or offer an opinion of what they are or where they might have migrated from


Is this the part that your referring to?

Yes that is the correct part and the part stamping on the plate is in the area just below the lower control arm.  It is in a difficult spot and I have been unable to ever take pics of it.

Personally, I have doubts to their authenticity but I am curious to know if it is something that has been made up or if part numbers were applied in this area.

Never have seen that on a car - maybe like you say it is something that appeared on service parts? Fortunately DNO is reproducing them with the Fomoco stamp:

A Scott Fuller reproduction product I believe that DNO stocks.

A particular 'concours' mustang restorer (who'll remain nameless) was applying them to his cars but I haven't seen them anywhere else. So it has gotten me wondering.....
If the NOS ones were C9OZ, then this is a further hint that things may not be correct.
