A lining support plate includes a base plate of cast metal and a plurality of pins which extend into the base plate and project from a support surface to anchor a friction lining material on the base plate. In the manufacture of the lining support plate, a support plate pattern () with a. plurality of cavities () in a lateral face is provided. Pins (-) are inserted into the cavities and partially protrude from the support plate pattern (). The support plate pattern () and the protruding portions of the pins (-) are surrounded by a moulding compound which is compressed and/or cured. When the support plate pattern () is removed, the pins (-) are left behind in the moulding compound and a support plate casting cavity is formed. A melt is poured into the cavity, surrounding the portions of the pins (-) protruding into the cavity. Once the melt has solidified, the lining support plate can be removed from the mould.
