    79F rear brake rotor

    I need to replace the rear brake rotor on my 79F. I would like to replace it with something as close to original in appearance a possible, any suggestions? Thanks!

      Thanks Greg. Since I don't know, I'm going to ask. Can these be turned?

        regular machining doesn't really work well, if you can find someone with a grinder setup for the lathe it would work best. I have machined them but they tend to chatter.

        The stuff that comes off them is cool. Like a big ball of steel wool. It will cut the hell out of you though.
