Title: 550 rear brake plate
Post by: DomP on December 27, 2023, 06:03:52 PM: Can I ask the experienced members on here whether this style of brake plate from a 550 fits both the K and F models? I'm aware of the other style with raised flanges leading to the control arm but I can't see why the type in the photo couldn't fit both models. Mine on my 550F has had a big lump snapped off it so needs replacing.
