For North America aftermarket importers, distributors and brake pad factories, a brake pad component RFQ may include passenger vehicle, light truck, SUV, pickup, fleet, trailer and heavy-duty programs. A single part number can begin the discussion, but it may not define every backing plate hole, ear, slot, shim outline or hardware kit component.
Fuxin Brake / FuXinbrake, the public brand of Hangzhou Fuxin Auto Parts Co., Ltd., supplies brake backing plates, NVH / anti-noise shims, truck and bus hardware kits, and tooling/dies as a one-stop brake component supplier for brake pad manufacturers, friction material factories and aftermarket sourcing programs.
1. Start with FMSI, but do not stop there
FMSI and D-style references are useful for North America brake pad shape identification. They help the supplier search existing backing plate coverage and compare related shim or hardware kit information. However, the same family may still require confirmation by OE number, vehicle application, pad dimensions and photos.
When possible, send front, back, side and close-up photos showing the steel back profile, ears, slots, holes, chamfers, clip positions and any attached shim. If the project is for a brake pad factory, also mark whether the item is for sample trial, mass production, replacement of a current supplier or new model development.
2. Combine backing plates, shims and hardware kits in one RFQ
Many North America programs require more than steel backs. Noise-damping shims and brake pad hardware kits can affect fitment, NVH performance, installation and distributor complaints. Sourcing these parts separately may create avoidable mismatch risk.
A one-stop brake component RFQ lets Fuxin Brake review the related parts together: backing plate outline, shim coverage, adhesive or coating requirement, clips, springs, pins, guide plates, packing method and tooling/die needs.
3. Separate stock replenishment from new development
For mainstream references, Fuxin Brake can first check existing model coverage and around 10 million pcs backing plate inventory. This is useful for importers who need replenishment, distributors who need mixed references, and brake pad factories that want faster sample matching.
For rare, modified or new references, the inquiry may move into sample review and tooling evaluation. Fuxin Brake supports mold processing, development and modification through its in-house tooling center, using drawings, samples, OE/FMSI evidence or product photos to guide the development route.
4. North America brake component RFQ checklist
| RFQ detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| FMSI / D-style reference, OE number and application | Creates the first matching route for backing plates, shims, hardware kits and tooling. |
| Photos of both sides and close-up details | Helps confirm holes, ears, slots, chamfers, shim outline and hardware positions. |
| Drawing, physical sample or sample availability | Supports dimensional review, trial development and tooling decision-making. |
| Product category and usage | Clarifies whether the buyer needs backing plates only or a package with shims, hardware kits and dies. |
| Quantity, carton, label and pallet requirements | Supports export packing, warehouse receiving, private-brand rules and mixed-model planning. |
5. What buyers should ask before quotation
- Can this reference be checked against existing backing plate inventory?
- Is the shim shape or adhesive/coating requirement already defined?
- Does the hardware kit include full clips, springs, pins, guide plates or only partial components?
- Is the project for stock replenishment, trial samples, a new pad program or tooling development?
- What packing, labeling, carton weight, pallet and warehouse receiving rules are required?
FAQ

Yes. FMSI references help start the check, but buyers should also send OE cross references, application details, photos, dimensions or samples because detail differences can affect fitment.
Can one supplier provide backing plates, shims and hardware kits for North America programs?
Yes. Fuxin Brake supplies backing plates, NVH / anti-noise shims, truck and bus hardware kits, and tooling/dies as one coordinated brake component package.
