Yes it does help Paul.
When I stripped the suspension I did wonder why there weren't backplates at the rear when they are fitted at the front. I put the question on the forum because when I watched the Wheeler Dealers programme on the A310 this car had backplates fitted at the rear (at 24.40 into the programme). Seeing this I presumed that mine should have them being a 3 stud model.
Your comment about pre 1978 cars having the backplates appears to fit as the Wheeler Dealer car was quoted as being a 1977 model and mine is 1980.
So that's one less part to source.
