My ATE rotors on the 911 that have the atomic symbol looking slots on them are getting worn.....can they be turned and then reslotted?

Hold on.. have they been surfaced? You added the slotting?

I have no idea.

They were slotted from the manufacturer....but good try goatboy....

Mike you ought to know damn well that if they are within spec you could reslot them if you have a mill. If you have to pay, you might want to consider a new set as the machining cost could be quite high for "one off".

OR

Send them to Dr. Evil - he could prolly hook you up with a machine shop in TJ.

Van Goat, to you... Bunnyman!

see my reply on flying rat board... if you have worn to the bottom of the slots... buy new rotors..

SLITS....you are missing the point of my question....IF the slots are gone....are they out of spec......I'm freaking lazy and don't feel like getting a caliper in there....

Sorry Mr. Zois - I thought a guessing stick (sliding venier) would be within your capabilities, even after a case of Sierra Nevada . So, to make it easy, if the grooves are cut to the depth of the minimum resurfacibility, then replace them - but as you know - if you're a real racer you don't use brakes anyway - Ya hit'em NASCAR style.

Uh Oh - here comes the politics

I get up before dark, get home after dark...kids homework....3 hours work on the house...the only break I get is at work.....

I CAN take the wheel off....mike the rotor and figure it out myself....just wanted to know if anyone had BTDT......guess not.....

Ah take it easy - it's early in the evening - the rest of the yokesters are still joining in.

So, you do your best work in the dark huh?

I'm easy....just fuckingtired of the house remodel....it's been two years.

One would think that if you slotted rotors...they wouold be to the past use level....they have only been on for three years....three DEs, about 8 AXs....

Well, you are keenly aware that the minimum thickness is set to prevent warping and cracking under heat. It doesn't mean they won't work, but.....................,

I don't think they are worn yet....I will mike them and let ya know....
