Choosing between Standard or Dexter Backing Plates
Standard backing plates are known as “AL-KO” backing plates and are the most common style in Australia.
However, some manufacturers will use Dexter brake systems, or ” American-style” backing plates.
One way to identify this is through the park brake lever:
- Horizontal Park Brake: Standard
- Vertical Park Brake: Dexter USA
