    Flex backing plate size

    The flex is advertised with a 6 inch backing plate--I thought it
    changed to a 5 1/2.

    Please let me know before I make my purchase.

    Thank you.

    It's advertised as 6" but really measures around 5.75" IIRC.

    I can tell you this a 5.5 inch pad will fit perfect with this backing plate, so even though Flex says 6" its really a hair over 5.5

    Well, out of curiosity, I went ahead and measured the backing plate of the Flex and it is exactly 5.5 inches.
