Megs solo backing plate is very nice for 6.5" pads. I bought two and cut one down to 3.75" to use 4" pads because there isnt a thick foam one on the market.

you might want to get a 6'' backing plate for 6.5 pads. look here, Hook and Loop Backing Plates, Velcro brand hook & loop backing plate, meguiars backing plates, lake country backing plates it dosent have to be a specific brand but ive heard alot of good things about the meguiars ones.

I use a 6" Lake Country backing plate for my 6 1/2 inch pads. Because the pads and backing plate is close to being the same size I pay particular attention to centering the pad on the plate..
6 Inch Rotary Backing Plate Use this backing plate with the Lake Country 7.5 inch pads. The 6 inch backing plate fits perfectly into this recess so

Thank you all so much my friends!
I got a few good 5" (125mm) backing plates that I will try out with my 6.5" pads. I think I am still going to pick up a LC 6" pad though.
Lasthope05 - Gloss-It actually has a 3" Flexible backing plate (with a really thick foam layer) to use for 4 inch pads. It's gonna be around $40 with shipping though... kinda pricey.

I know about the 3" backing plate from gloss-it/rubbish boys UK, but I dont like the over hang. With such a small pad you want the full contact area of the pad as you are concentrating on a small area.
The same with with a 6.5" pad. I dont like using a 5" backing plate because when you apply pressure to the pad it is not evenly distributed and the overhang just mushrooms up.
