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?

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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Sorry Mr. Zois - I thought a guessing stick (sliding venier) would be within your capabilities, even after a case of Sierra Nevada (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) . 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'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.....................,
