So I got a quote to have solid Front discs laser cut. Stupidly cheaper than the Galfer/ Yamaha OEM replacement.
Here in South Africa, only 25% of the OEM price.
Material is specified as SS 3CR12 @ 6mm thickness.
The OEM floating disc is in two parts.
The inner part is 6mm thick, the outer/floating part is 4mm.
The guys are concerned about skimming the outer part to 4mm and insist the whole disc to be 6mm thick.
I have no opinion on the thickness, except whether the 6mm outer section of the solid disc will allow the pads to fit over it.
I have Googling about floating vs. solid rotors and the only advantage the floating discs have, that I identified, is warping under severe, constant (like racing) conditions.
I am prepared to experiment with the solid discs (surely the solid disc will not simply disintegrate?!), but merely warp.
The costs involved is negligible and I will discard the disc if it proved unfavourable.
What is you opinions?
