Backup Plate Kit Fender To Nose

The Backup Plate Kit Fender to Nose (Part Number 000-24B) is a specialized aluminum mounting system designed for Sportsman and bracket racing vehicles. This kit provides a complete two-piece solution—one front and one rear backup plate—that spans the full distance from the vehicle's fender to the nose section, creating a structural support framework essential for high-stress competition environments where vibration and impact loads demand reliable reinforcement.

Constructed from lightweight yet rigid aluminum, the backup plate kit reduces overall vehicle weight while maintaining the strength required for drag strip duty and bracket racing applications. The kit's dimensions (13.6 inches in length, 4.35 inches in width, 0.95 inches in depth) are engineered to integrate seamlessly with S2 Sportsman and ABC-spec frames, ensuring proper fitment without fabrication modifications. At 0.31 lbs total weight, this kit delivers structural support without the penalty of excess mass—a critical consideration in competition vehicles where every fraction of a pound impacts acceleration and ET performance.

Bracket racers and Sportsman-class competitors rely on backup plate kits to distribute load stress across critical mounting zones and prevent frame flex during hard launches and sustained acceleration. The two-piece front and rear configuration allows independent adjustment and tuning of suspension geometry at both ends of the vehicle. This backup plate kit is an essential component for builders constructing or rebuilding Sportsman-class race cars to NHRA or track-specific specifications.

If you're assembling an S2 Sportsman or ABC-spec bracket racing platform, this aluminum backup plate kit provides the structural foundation necessary for reliable, repeatable performance on the strip. Stock this essential reinforcement component for your next race-car build or frame repair project.
