I have a Legend 356 and our Mid ship cleat has come loose . Looking for some advice on how to get access to the backing plate to replace bolts . Can only seem to see access by cutting the plastic lining above the galley cupboard .

At least on mine I believe the aluminum backing plates are molded into the deck, so you would need to remove the cleat and tap out the threads, possibly going up a size. Had to do that on a stanchion post and it worked great.
Make sure you seal it with Butyl tape to keep any water out.

The stanchion backing plates are molded into the deck and threaded as Jeff said. However, the cleat backing plates are below - at least the fore and aft plates -and the nuts are accessible behind the headliner. I dropped the forward cabin rigid headliner and was able to reach the nuts; the midship cleat would mean trying to drop the whole side - it's one piece - and that would mean removing a lot of trim and flexing it down
There are painted screws on the joiner strips and some around the edges. I think if you remove the midships strip (pretty easy to do) and pull it down you may be able to reach the cleat nuts: the aft chainplate bolts are under the strip and the cleat should be aft of that
