Replacement Backing Plate for GG 3"?
So I was polishing my wheels with my GG 3" and their orange pad, and I guess I got a little carried away and beat up the edge of the backing plate a little (because Chris, the Optimum adjutant, won't take on my cause of a MF DA polishing cone , to be known as the Setec--LOL). Anyway, I figured I'd better look into a spare BP since my friend Jr. really likes the 3" GG with the MF pads...and Autogeek doesn't sell a replacement BP, nor does Griot's direct.
The only thing AG has is the 3M & Meg's sanding backing plates with the interchangeable thread adapter pieces. The GG plate is 2-7/8" dia., I'm sure the info is around here somewhere what the 3M/Meg's plate dia. is, not sure about the upcoming Optimum 3" backing plate.
So, anyone replaced the BP on their GG 3"? AG staff, is the OEM plate available?

Don't have a GG3, but the diameter of the Meg's S3BP is 2-7/8" so presumably it would work.

Thanks, that seems a little pricey considering an LC BP for 4" pads is $12.99.
Just called Griot's and it's only $5!! Gotta be ordered by phone. Shoot, for that price I'll take 2!
Edit: Nick, any chance AG will carry the Griot's BP? Or an LC equivalent?

$5? That's a great price! Wonder what the thread size is?

The Griots # is 10739A for the 3" bp. The reason I know is I loaned my 3" machine out and the friend had to go to their Plainfield warehouse and purchase one after his dog ate mine.

The adapter that comes with the Meg's plate will also work.

It's certainly possible but from personal experience, the Meguiar's backing plate is nearly indestructible and well worth the cost.

Perhaps the most reasonably priced Griot's product ever? It's the standard DA backing plate thread.

Yes, that's the number they gave me. Now if we could just convince AG to carry it so we don't have to pay the Griot's shipping...oh wait, they have some shipping offer going on at GG.
