Modified Discs?

[ddu]

As a purchaser, I have a few small engineering companies that dont mind doing m/cing work for me foc now and again.<br>
One in particular do a lot of work for Radical Motorsports,<br>
they are always modifing standard brake discs for use on these high powered cars.<br>
Is it worth getting them to mod my sprint discs while the wheels are off, and if so, is there a recomended "pattern"<br>
ie, grooves/holes?<br>

Would have got more replies on the main forum Ross, seeing as you are talking Dollys.<br>
<br>
I wouldn't bother getting the standard discs grooved or drilled. Drilling will only weaken them. If you want to mod them go for somethimg tried & tested. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

<br>
Sorry mate, havn't a clue as I've no experience of drilling or grooves. You could try on the Piston Heads forum, modern brakes tend to be more exotic than our rusty old anchors.<br>

thats actually one of the unused 'offices' in the bodyshop, where all my goodies are stored. <br>
<br>
I used 'my office' (<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ) to build the subframe up as it was easier on my poor aging knees and also less risk of scraping my nice fresh painted bits n bobs.<br>
<br>
If you thin my mrs would allow that in the house, I'd seriously think again, which is why I built a 20' x 9' garage in the back garden!<br>

dont bother drilling them as they will crack at the holes if you do track days <br>
some nice grooves would be good though<br>
