What are my option for stepping down to a smaller pad? Seems that this,Griots Garage BOSS 5 inch Backing Plate (https://www.autogeek.net/griots-boss-5-inch-backing-plate.html), is discontinued. And i can’t figure out if this,Griot's Garage 5 Inch Vented Backing Plate (https://www.autogeek.net/griots-5-inch-vented-backing-plate.html), will work on my polisher.

Thoughts???

Doesn't look like AG is carrying the correct BP anymore. Not good. I have been running this on my G21 for years.

I originally bought my G21 through AG and the additional 5" BP when they first came out. My thought is if you sell it you support it, they need to restock the 5" Boss BP.

To a degree. If Griot’s is not shipping them anymore, they should offer a solution

I asked AG customer service and they stated because a new G21/15 are coming out they’re no longer stocking the backing plates for the old models....that’s a little frustrating.

Sorry, didn’t see that I had two PM’s. A local shop still has the correct 5” backing plate. Gonna shop local on this one.
