Will give them a ring on Tuesday. Its not so much the cost of the discs (around £120 eatch) but the hubs have to be removed and I just havnt got time to do it before le mans. Had a couple of quotes to do the job and best so far is £1000 pluss VAT against a quote of £100 to skim the disks on the car.

main reason is rust build up on the rear disks due to a couple of seized caliper through lack of use. I`ve got a real big vibration on one side (side with worst disk) when I brake. To replace the disks is not that hard but you need some special pullers that I can hire from Rolls Royce enthusiasts club for about £45 but its a ball ache as you have to re shim all the bearings, remove the drive shafts, and replace all the bearing seals and a few other parts. I am going to have to have some new disks in the long term but I want to replace them my self next year when I re bush the back suspension. I need to get them done by 7th of June as I`m at a charity due at Nottingham for the BRIAN CLOUGH memorial fund.
