Checked the thickness and all are within spec!
Did the de-glazing about 2 weeks ago so here are the results: Glazed and greasy state(from my fingers): Attacked with a cup brush on the angle grinder to remove glaze: After doing that I tried two different methods to give them a nice finish 1. Sanding with coarse sand paper then getting finer 2. Sand with emery cloth in circular motion then go over them quickly again with the cup brush. Realised I don't have a picture of this but here the pic of the one above that i repaired by using the emery cloth and another quick go with the angle grinder. Option 2 came out with a much better finish so I did the rest of them using that. Sorry for the crappy pics I only had my mobile phone handy. From the advice given I decided to just use the race pads all the time to save the hassle of changing them over all the time. Lastly the feel of the non-glazed rotors is amazing. I can't say ive driven on a brand new set of rotors or resurfaced rotors but these must come pretty close. So I am very happy with how they turned out and would recommend this method to anyone. It ended up taking about an hour/wheel. Thanks again guys for the advice, much appreciated! |
