Don't give out incorrect advice - if you don't know the answer, don't post!
Please be careful when answering peoples technical questions that you do not misguide them into taking inappropriate action.
Not only is this annoying, but it can also be costly and could even be dangerous if the wrong information is given.
This is why we ask that only first-hand and factual information is posted in reply to peoples queries.
If you are not 100% certain of your reply, be sure to point out your uncertainty.

i have removed the front wheels from my 93' cooper and on inspecting the brake discs have discovered they are pitted around the edges about a quarter of an inch in, can these be cleaned up in any way or would they have to be machined smooth or replaced altogether?...thanks dob

if they are still above minimum thickness specified then no problem cleaning them up on a lathe if you want to.

I usually go by the amount of lip thats on the edge of the disk. Big lip means they need replacing.
