    Griot's Garage 5 Inch Vented Backing Plate

    I'm looking for a GG 5 Inch Vented Backing plate for the G9 I will be purchasing. AG offers two part numbers: GR-10555 and GR-10550.

    In the description for GR-10555, it specifically states that this backing plate is for the G9 and G6's. This plate is out of stock with no available date.

    In the description for GR-10550, it specifically states that this backing plate is for G6, G10, 7424xp, MT300 and any DA with a 5/16" x 24 thread. No mention of G9. This plate is in stock at AG.

    I've checked the GG website and it only shows part number 10555. When I search 10550, it redirects to part 10555.

    Can someone from AG confirm that GR-10550 is compatible with the G9 to use or if there is a reason I should wait for GR-10555 to be back in stock?

    Thanks!!

    Samey Same.

    The threads are the same. The Non-mention of the G9 is because the unit is new. (Hasn't been updated in description of the plate).
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    It’s not exactly the same plate. I asked Griot’s customer service when it came out, it’s a slightly softer material to help the pad conform to the car surface. I believe it’s also got revised venting to match up with the G9.
