Backup Plate Kit Roof to Quarter Panel

The Backup Plate Kit Roof to Quarter Panel from FIVESTAR is an essential structural reinforcement component designed for S2 Sportsman and ABC class race vehicles. This kit addresses the critical need for additional support and load distribution where the roof meets the quarter panel—an area that experiences significant stress during hard cornering, acceleration, and impact events. Whether you're building a competition vehicle or upgrading an existing frame, this aluminum backup plate system provides the structural integrity needed to maintain panel alignment and prevent flex-related damage.

Constructed from aluminum, the Backup Plate Kit Roof to Quarter Panel delivers a lightweight yet rigid solution that minimizes added mass while maximizing structural performance. The kit spans 60 inches in length with precision-engineered dimensions of 2 x 0.5 inches, allowing it to distribute forces effectively across the roof-to-quarter-panel junction. Aluminum's inherent strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for motorsports applications where every pound matters, while its corrosion resistance ensures durability in demanding racing environments. The modular kit design allows for straightforward installation and integration into existing frame geometries typical of Sportsman and ABC-class builds.

This backup plate kit is engineered specifically for S2 Sportsman and ABC class competitors seeking to enhance chassis rigidity and panel durability during competition. The roof-to-quarter-panel connection is particularly vulnerable to deflection under lateral g-forces and impacts, and reinforcement at this junction directly improves handling consistency and reduces the risk of body panel separation or cracking. Installation involves positioning the aluminum plate along the interior seam and securing it according to competition rule specifications and frame preparation standards. Racers and fabricators building vehicles for sanctioned competition will find this kit compatible with standard aluminum welding and fastening techniques common in modern race vehicle construction.
