Source for stainless steel backing plates?

Any suggestions for where I can get stainless steel backing plates? Btw, I'm in California though that may not matter.

Thanx

If you ever go to the LA area, M&K Metal in Gardena is the go to place, or at least it was when I lived in LA. Onlinemetals.com is easy to deal with and will ship, but not cheap. Or just Google “Metal Supply” and your location.

PYT in San Marcos might be a starting point.

I'm from Australia but when I need SS off-cuts I go to a SS Fabricator or SS Supplier (who often have (say) 1m lengths)

Have you looked at these people?

You didn't indicate what the backing plates were for, nor if they were an original part.
If an original part, you might give Bud Taplin a shout.
