Product Overview

The RUPES 3" (75mm) Grip Polisher Backing Pad (990.007) is a genuine RUPES replacement backing plate designed for compatible RUPES BigFoot Mini random orbital polishers, including the RUPES LHR75, LHR75E, and LTA75.

The 75mm (3") backing plate uses a grip / hook-and-loop attachment system to securely hold compatible polishing and buffing pads while allowing quick pad changes during paint correction and polishing applications.

The RUPES backing pad is an important component of the complete polishing system. Constructed from durable polyurethane material, the backing plate is designed to withstand the mechanical stresses generated during machine polishing while helping maintain stable pad contact and reduce vibration.

The backing pad features a special punched 6-hole ventilation design that promotes airflow during polishing, helping dissipate heat generated between the polishing pad, backing plate, and work surface. This helps manage polishing temperatures during extended correction and finishing applications.

The grip fastening surface provides secure polishing pad attachment and helps maintain pad stability while the machine is in operation.

The 990.007 installs using the supplied M6 mounting bolt and is suitable for compatible 3" to 4" grip polishing and buffing pads.

Sold one backing pad per package. M6 mounting bolt included.

SMSDistributors Expert Notes

The 990.007 is a genuine RUPES replacement backing plate designed to maintain proper polishing pad fit and performance on compatible RUPES Mini polishers.
The compact 3" backing plate is particularly useful for spot correction, bumpers, pillars, curved panels, and other areas where a full-size polishing system can be difficult to maneuver.
The grip / hook-and-loop surface makes polishing pad changes quick while providing secure attachment during machine operation.
The 6-holes in this backing plate are designed to promote airflow and help manage heat generated during polishing.
The punched ventilation design becomes particularly useful during extended correction work where heat can accumulate at the polishing pad and backing plate interface.
When replacing a worn backing plate, inspect the grip surface and mounting connection. A worn backing plate can reduce secure polishing pad attachment and stability.
