I ended up with leaves and crap stuck in the hose with that setup. Have not had that problem at least yet with my own scoops.

I do still use the backing plate from Lightweight but it's pretty easy to make your own by making a hole and welding on a short 60mm tube on the original backing plate to connect the hose to.
Magnus, do you have a link to purchase the Lightweight backing plates? I can't find their website anywhere, it's bizarre, and I bought a lip from them a couple years back! Thank you
