NCOP (VSB14) and VSB5B guidance on backing plates:
• mild steel.
• area not less than 3750mm2 and thickness of 3 - 4.5mm (1/8 - 3/16”). VSB5B allows not less than 75mm x 50mm x 3mm (3750mm2), but requires the plates to be no thicker than 4mm.
• plate must be contoured to fit the vehicle body.
• minimum 5mm corner radius with edges closest to the body chamfered
• barrel bolts are permitted.

Cheers,
Harv

Been doing them like that for decades so I'm glad that that's still the same .Haydn

Yes, same spec for all anchor points (including floors, B-pillars and parcel shelves).
