Re: Backing plate
I answered your question on the other thread you created. Its not polite creating a bunch of threads on the same topic requesting help in many places. Create a thread in the relevant section, sit back and wait giving people time to respond. Just like fishing, its all about being patient.

Re: Backing plate
A rule of thumb when using pads, you should always go a half inch larger on the pads from size of the backing plate. The extra pad will give you a little safety room when working on the vehicles.
Example:
5" Backing Plate 5.5" Pads
6" Backing Plate 6.5" Pads
You can still certainly use a 6" pad on a 6" Backing plate but not the best idea

I would advise against this^^ A 6" pad on a 5" plate is not a good idea.
Using a 6.5" pad on a 6" plate will work just fine, but using 5.5" pads on a 5" backing plate is much more manageable and easier to use.
Used as an eg. Of not using a plate that's larger than a pad. Letting him soak that in first before advising optimal pad to backing sizes.

This looks like a duplicate post?
Looks just like this one except the title is a little different?
Backing plate
Just a few days ago you posted multiple threads on the same topic and I merged them all into one thread and then in post #24 explained that it's only neccassary to post a SINGLE or ONE thread per topic as posting multiple threads for the same topic causes confusion and is considered poor netiquette.
Here's a link to that post
