[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3302542, member: 41653"] That rotor was still good. It was gouged only on the one side, right ? Years ago I had an automotive machine shop. I've had people come in with rotors worn so badly that the fins were rubbing on the steel of the pad. The disc surface was completely gone, the material of the pad was gone, the steel backing of the pad almost gone. The rotor was down to the cooling fins on the inside of the disc. They would ask if I could fix it. This happened more than once. I've had them come in with the brakes worn to the point the piston of the caliper was the only friction being applied. Unbelievable. Invariably they wanted to just put it back together and drive it. On the same road I drive on. One guy asked me to just block off that brake. Plug the hydraulic line. Do he could drive it.:disappoin [/QUOTE]
