Paddle Shifter Backplate?

Where can I buy just the backplate for the F8x paddles? I found some without electronics and no backplate. I assume my electronics fit but I need the plate that come with the aftermarket ones right? Not sure who sells them individually

Last time I looked for them you could buy them EACH for about the same price as just buying the set of knock off f80 paddles with plates and knock off electronics.. Ie $35.
If that is still the case, jsut buy a set of knockoffs and junk everything but the plates and hardware.


Alternatively
You might post a wtb on the f80 board, lots of those guys get extended paddles with backing plates, and might be willing to part with a set cheap since they are superfluous for them.

Where could I find those OEM ones? I am concerned the knock off ones have that flimsy feeling

It’s a piece of plastic. But the set of knockoff and throw everything away but the backing plate, or buy OEM paddles with plates included.
You can’t find OEM ones bc they aren’t sold separately.
