5" Backing Plate for GG6

[bevans]

Can someone give me a link to a 5" backing plate that will fit my GG6? I want to get some 5.5" pads, but I need to get a BP also.

Okay thanks. I thought that was the case, but I didn't want to order the wrong one.

I just bought a GG6 and bought a Lake Country 5" backing plate (LC-43-125DA) $16.99

Get the Megs DA MF System. It comes with a superb 5" BP and will give you cutting power like no foam pads I have ever tried! It blew me away last weekend on my GG! BTW any DA BP will fitt.
