Often referred to as a brake dust shield or brake disc splash guard, the backing plate sits behind the brake disc and provides a protective barrier between the braking system and contaminants thrown up from the road. It also helps guide cooling airflow around the brake assembly, contributing to consistent braking performance.
As these plates are mounted underneath the vehicle, they are frequently exposed to moisture, road salt, stone impacts and corrosion. Replacing damaged or rusted backing plates helps maintain brake system protection while restoring the appearance of the suspension and braking assembly.
What Does a Brake Disc Backing Plate Do?
The brake disc backing plate performs several important functions within the braking system.
Its primary roles include:
- Protecting the brake disc from road debris
- Shielding brake components from dirt and water
- Helping manage brake cooling airflow
- Reducing contamination around the brake assembly
- Protecting wheel bearing components
- Supporting long-term brake system reliability
- Maintaining factory brake system design
Although often overlooked, the backing plate contributes to the overall durability and effectiveness of the braking system.
Why Do Brake Disc Backing Plates Fail?
Brake backing plates are constantly exposed to harsh operating conditions beneath the vehicle.
Common causes of failure include:
- Corrosion caused by moisture and road salt
- Stone and debris impact damage
- Accident or kerb strike damage
- Age-related deterioration
- Metal fatigue
- Improper handling during brake servicing
- Long-term environmental exposure
Over time, corrosion can weaken the plate, causing distortion, cracking or complete failure.
When Should a Brake Disc Backing Plate Be Replaced?
Brake backing plates should be inspected whenever brake discs or wheel bearings are serviced.
Common signs replacement is required include:
- Visible rust or corrosion
- Cracked or damaged plate edges
- Bent or distorted backing plates
- Contact between the plate and brake disc
- Excessive brake dust contamination
- Missing sections caused by corrosion
- Restoration or refurbishment projects
- Suspension rebuild work
If the backing plate begins rubbing against the brake disc, it should be replaced immediately to prevent noise and potential damage.
Why Replacement Matters
A damaged brake backing plate can compromise protection of the braking system and detract from the quality of a restoration.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Improved brake component protection
- Reduced contamination from road debris
- Correct brake cooling airflow management
- Improved reliability
- Restoration of factory appearance
- Prevention of brake disc contact issues
- Enhanced long-term durability
- Ideal for restoration and maintenance projects
For classic Porsche models, replacing worn backing plates helps preserve both function and originality.

What Does a Brake Disc Cover Plate Do?
The brake disc cover plate, sometimes referred to as a brake backing plate, dust shield or brake disc protector, sits behind the brake disc and provides an additional protective barrier around the braking assembly.
Its functions include:
- Helping protect braking components from road debris
- Reducing exposure to dirt and contamination
- Providing protection around the rear brake disc
- Helping maintain the original brake assembly configuration
Why Do Brake Disc Cover Plates Fail?
Brake cover plates are continuously exposed to heat, water,
road salt and debris.
Over time this can cause corrosion, cracking or
deterioration, particularly on older vehicles or cars frequently driven in wet
conditions.
Damage can also occur during brake, wheel bearing or suspension work if an ageing cover plate is accidentally bent or disturbed.
When Should They Be Replaced?
Replacement should be considered if the original plate is:
- Heavily corroded
- Cracked or damaged
- Loose or distorted
- Rubbing against the brake disc
- Missing sections due to corrosion
- Being removed during a comprehensive brake restoration
Replacing deteriorated plates while the rear braking system is dismantled can also save additional labour later.
Rear brake disc cover plates are an often-overlooked component when maintaining or restoring a Porsche braking system. While brake discs and pads are regular service items, the protective plates behind them can gradually deteriorate after years of exposure to heat, moisture and road contamination.
Replacing damaged Porsche rear brake backing plates helps restore the braking assembly to a complete and properly protected condition. These OE Match cast brake disc cover plates provide a suitable replacement for Porsche owners carrying out brake servicing, restoration or rear suspension refurbishment.

On early Porsche 911 models, the original cover plates can suffer significant deterioration after decades of exposure to moisture, road contamination and repeated heating and cooling cycles. Replacing a damaged or heavily corroded plate is particularly worthwhile when carrying out a front brake overhaul or restoration.
What Does a Brake Disc Cover Plate Do?
The front brake disc cover plate, also commonly referred to as a brake backing plate or dust shield, sits behind the brake disc and provides a protective barrier around the braking assembly.
Its functions include:
- Helping shield braking components from road debris
- Reducing exposure to dirt and contamination
- Protecting the rear face of the brake disc area
- Maintaining the correct factory-style brake assembly
- Providing a complete finish during restoration
Why Do Brake Disc Cover Plates Fail?
Brake disc cover plates operate in a harsh environment where they are continuously exposed to moisture, road grime, heat and temperature changes.
Age-related corrosion is particularly common on classic Porsche 911 models. The plate can eventually weaken, crack or lose material around its edges and mounting points.
Damage may also occur during previous brake, wheel bearing, hub or suspension work. A distorted plate can potentially contact the rotating brake disc and create unwanted scraping or rubbing noises.
When Should They Be Replaced?
Replacement should be considered when:
- The original plate is heavily corroded
- Sections have rusted away
- The plate is cracked or distorted
- Mounting points are damaged
- The plate is rubbing against the brake disc
- Restoring or rebuilding the front braking system
- Carrying out a comprehensive classic
- Porsche restoration
Replacing deteriorated cover plates while the front brake assembly is already dismantled can also help avoid additional labour later.
Porsche 911 1965-68 Front Brake Disc Cover Plates
Maintaining the braking system of an early Porsche 911 involves more than replacing brake discs and pads.
