Default 5-Lug 5TH GEN. Conversion. Which Backing Plate?

So,

I've got most of the parts for my conversion now. Forgot about the backing plate. The issue is which backing plate will fit?

This is what I have:
1995 Accord V6 Front Right Knuckle: 51210-SX0-902
1995 Accord V6 Front Left Knuckle: 51215-SX0-902
1995 Odyssey Front Wheel Bearings x2: 44200-SX0-008
1995 Odyssey Front Hubs x2: 44600-SX0-000
1995 Prelude Front Right Caliper: 06452-SM5-505RM
1995 Prelude Front Left Caliper: 06453-SM5-505RM

Rotors & Pads are not the issue (I'll leave these out)

Should I be using the 1995 Prelude Backing Plate/Brake Splash Guard?
-or-
Should I be using the 1995 Accord V6 Backing Plate/Brake Splash Guard?

Anyone know the answer?

I would go with the one that fits the size of the rotor you are using. Considering that is what they are for. Personally, I rip them off any chance I can get.

Either the Accord or the Odyssey backing plates will work. Maybe the Prelude. Just pull some at a salvage yard and see. As far as the rotor diameter, I went from 282mm to 300mm using the Odyssey plate for the 282mm rotors. That is using Acura RL rotors and caliper brackets with NSX calipers.

Dude. These are all part numbers for an Odyssey front end.

Use Odyssey, or Accord Wagon, or Accord V6 Sedan dust plates. You need the plates for the 282mm front rotors, not the 260mm.

Prelude used a different front wheel bearing, so I'm guessing it's relief for the bearing/bolts would not be correct for use on the Accord based irregular bearing shape.

I thought I should be considering the cutout for the brake caliper. Was planning for Prelude/ITR rotors. For simplicity.

Thoughts?

Dude,

These may cross-reference to Odyssey. Not sure if you looked up all the part numbers, my HPD account is pretty accurate when ordering parts.

V6 Accord that year only came in a Sedan....

I might have to, I got all new parts, Junkyard is quite cold this time of year here. I'll have to make a decision soon.

That's fair, I may run this in the winter, and it's got it's uses against snow.

Asks about part. Informed of what part is needed. Still asks what part is needed.
