Hi Tony,

I have one if you want it. Was going to use it then two NOS plates came along my way many years ago. It's for a F15A but I think all the backing plates are the same, just the front drums are different between the big and small Blitzes, but maybe someone can confirm.
I removed the broken brake adjuster springs, a common problem I have noticed on these vehicles. There is a slight bit of pitting on the bottom corner but otherwise it is in good shape. It was cleaned up in molasses and painted so all you need to do is repaint it to match yours.
Had some new springs made up so can include them with the cams, bolts, and washers so all you need to do is weld the bolts back on to the two cams.
It yours for the postage if you want it.

Cheers,
