Small backing plate for polishing machine

JohnCleary · 2015-02-16 13:49:51

Folks, I am looking for a SMALL backing plate for my polishing machine, like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6inch-M16-Velcro-Backing-pad-polishing-Pad-Backer-Plate-For-Car-Polisher-/181357822071 Except about 3" max (ideally 2"). I have some isolated sanding to do, not on a car, but thought i'd ask here as you guys would…

If its M14, you'll be able to pick up a 3" one from a detailing supplier!

The outer thread of the nut on the polisher is just under 14mm

The backing plates that came with it have a hole of 12mm
