RUPES backing plate

[honda2112]

Hi all,
I just upgraded to the RUPES Big Foot 21 and I had a question on the factory plate. I`ve been using a Griot`s with 5.5" pads (meg`s MF/LC Hydro`s, mostly MF), can I attach the old 6" LC`s I have with the RUPES plate or do I need to switch to the Meg`s plate? In general, when I get new 6.5" pads, can I use the RUPES plate?

The rupes backing plate is not interchangeable with any other manufacturer`s backing plates yet.

The Rupes backing plate 5" and 6" are interchangeable however. You will need to pick up a 5" bp to put on your 5.5 inch pads. And AG and AF say it doesn`t work, but it does and works extremely well actually.

Also I`ve been using the 5" Rupes backing plate with all sorts of pads and it works great!

I agree, the rupes 21LHR with the 5" backing plate is my bread & butter now. Works great.

I just picked up a Rupes 21 and got the 5 inch BP as well.

I just picked up a Rupes 21 and got the 5 inch BP as well.

I did the same and it should arrive today.
