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.
