Brake disc condition - front offside only
Discussion
Hi All,
I noticed and was quite shocked at my front offside brake disc condition. The photo shows the inside of the disc and has obvious bits missing from the inside edge to the nearest drilled hole in a few places.
I also noticed that a few of the small bolts holding the bell(?) were missing as well. Is this dangerous as the disc is really tight to the bell still and the car was stopping like a train as usual. The near side is fine but I have not checked the disc thickness.
The diameter is 320mm and disc thickness is 28mm. There are no other marks or gouges and apart from the stated points. Any ideas where I should get replacements or should I just get the solid discs on offer at Racetech at the moment?
I have also included an image of my caliper as I'm not sure if this is an upgrade or not.

I'm getting some new rotors. Probably 330s with a 4 mm extension - grooved not drilled.
However, the more I think about the missing bolts, the more I wonder where they went. Or, if the previous owner just didn't replace them once taken off? The remaining bolts are very tight and I don't think they would have come undone too easily by themselves. Surely they would have rattled about if they had? The other side is complete. Odd?
