If you loose it, (actually BEFORE you loose it) take a look at your local hardware store plumbing department. These are a fiber washer and are use commonly in the plumbing trade.
Coat...50 cents or so.

Good information to know for people that live outside the U.S. My guess is some countries don't want to import the 7" Softbuff pads especially if they already import the 6" pads that have been around since the 1970's

Great point Bill.
I'll try to take a picture of the damage caused by not using the compression washer today and add it to this thread.

Yes fender picks, the W67DA or W68DA will fit the PC7424XP, PC7424, Griot's garage 6" ROP and the Meguiar's G110v2.

Like Marc said, "yes" the Megs backing plate will work with your PC7424
Lots of people never add the letters XP at the end of 7424 so I never know for sure if they have a first generation Porter Cable 7424 or a second generation Porter Cable 7424XP but in case you do have a first gen, be sure to read this article,
The short how-to guide for using a DA Polisher
How to maximize the ability of the 1st Generation Porter Cable Dual Action Polishers
and this one,
DA Polisher Trouble Shooting Guide
All of the popular DA Polishers, old and new can use backing plates with the 5/16" threaded stud for attachment to the spindle.
Threaded stud in picture below is 5/16 and common to all popular DA polishers

Re: 5 inch Backing Plates on Meguiar's, Griot's and Porter Cable DA Polishers
Hello Mike, Pre ordered the Groits DA I have a couple questions for you. I want to go with 5.5" lake country pads and also will be using the Meg Microfiber system which backing plate would I buy? Can I use the same backing plate for regular LC pads and Meg Microfiber system? I am debating on adding the larger/longer cord is this nessasary? What advantage does it have? Advise from some other member out there would also be greatly appreciated thanks everyone.
