that's what i thought ref grooves etc, with them collecting mud , etc

seen some convert there's to bigger v8 discs but won't bother, will just buy some oem ventilated discs

have been reading a lot of the materials used in the modern pads and how they've improved

could u imagine owning a car that had ceramic discs on them, gulp


once saw an old neighbour fit new discs on his car and then cleaned them with wd40 , did go over to him with some brake cleaner

best one was when he put a kettle of boiling water on his windscreen to clear ice, outstanding that was, autoglass was there in the afternoon , lol

Yes, not stopping very well because they haven't warmed up. :(
 
Best thing to clean brake discs with is surprisingly....brake cleaner ! Carburettor cleaner is just as good and does the same job.

Neighbour sounds like a prize bell end I must confess....

it's the neighbour across the street , he is a mr know it all who likes to stick his nose in if ur doing something to either ur car or house

he will come over and give his opinion , he claims to be an expert in everything , what ever you've done he's done it better

the kids round here can't stand him , he complains at anything, last trick or treat they wrapped his motorbike with cling film

i did convince him one year that it's far better to use varnish on his front fence posts than wood preservative , lol
 
Surprisingly, even with modern materials and manufacturing tolerances these days, new brakes still need a couple of miles to get them clean, settled and up to their working specs.

u saying that always reminds me of the time when i first owned a landy, went off road through water etc

then tried to brake , erm and brake , then seeing a hedge coming closer and closer as i frantically pushed the brakes on and off, lol

A "cheapo" set of digital calipers ( <£15 ) off the usual bay of evil could save you some money - or possibly something more important....:)
i bought some digital calipers from halfords a while back, think it was only around £25 and well worth the money

One problem which might be encountered when trying to measure the remaining thickness of brake disks is the lip which can form on the edge of the disk. That can give rise to false readings.
An ordinary digital caliper, they used to be called a vernier gauge has the two parallel faces which come together fully along the length of the measuring jaws.

What is actually needed is a device such as a micrometer which is more suited to measuring between the two small faces with the raised "anvil" as it's known as the fixed face.

By using such a device, the problem of the edge lip can be overcome.

However there is a way that this problem can be overcome with two small metal blocks of indeterminate thickness. Since the digital devices can be "zeroed" at any point, the caliper can be zeroed with the two blocks in place between the jaws. The two blocks are then placed one each side of the disk and the thickness of the disk can then be measured accurately.
There are digital calipers designed specifically for brake disk measurement, but being "job specific", they tend to be a little more expensive, particularly if they aren't going to be used too often.

You weren't my old Technical College trade teacher back in 1965 were you, by any chance?
Lesson presented in perfect classroom manner.
