We are always open to adding new backing plates to our inventory or making a backing plate for a specific need.  Please use the CONTACT US form to request a quote.  The following details are needed:

  1. Ideally a drawing of the mounting footprint, including dimensions and screw sizes.
  2. If the backing plate is for a common piece of hardware (something that can be purchase online or in a retail store), include the manufacturer and part number.
  3. If for a custom part, the intended usage and expected loading profile – i.e. maximum load.
