cheers, Peter.

Worth Calling Stu Pollock (Stu160) to see if he can do it..

Failing that call Calder Motor Company in East Calder, I think they have a brake lathe thingy

Not mine, a friend has bought a wee 400 Honda track bike but the discs he has for the wet wheels are a bit used and he may need them for Friday at KH.

Only thing to mention is if they are floating discs (wee bobbins between carrier and disc face) they will be almost impossible to skim without an elaborate jig, AFAIK. If it's a VFR400 or the like, they might well be.

Ahhh! The bike is a CBR400R (I think) I just helped him with some rewiring so it's back to basics. It has two sets of wheels (Wets and Drys) but the Wets had no discs until he sourced these ones which, by the description, are definately floating.
He's up at KH on Friday for a track day and I'm guessing that it will be raining at some point in the day.

I'll let him know that it may not be possible.

Thx for the assistance chaps
