I'm hunting for a RH (passenger side) front brake backing plate for a pre A, and was wondering if a 356a part will work or possibly is the same? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I only see a driver side advertised as pre A in the classifieds.

Thanks, Conrad

Yes, a drum from a 356A will work too. There are some visual differences like the lack of the slot for the bleeding valve in the brake cylinder, but it doesn't affect the function.

Thanks so much! We are getting the car functioning and figuring out what is stock & what is not. Now I can identify the parts we have too.
