A great guy, met him once when he was over and planned to meet when I was on vacation in Crete but unfortunately..... He was the guy that convinced me to run synthetic oil in my Commando. Certainly knew his stuff on oil.I sold Peels rotor to Gerry Bistrow, an expat oil professional in Greece about 4
Similar to mine 3/4lb saved. As long as holes are well chamfered both sides to prevent cracks. Mine has done 14,000 miles but that's not to say it will never fail.

Been away for a week in Spain, what a lot of threads to catch up on!Keith, did you get your disc milled in the UK or do you know somebody trustworthy that can do this work in the UK.
Big_Jim59 said:FYI to this thread. I got a note from Ella at OldBrits. She is returning my disk with this note:
She writes: We are no longer doing Blanchard grinding on rotors. We just put the note on our website a couple weeks ago after we finished the last batch of them. The machine shop that does this for us was asking for three minimum for Blanchard grinding, now they are asking for five. The last batch of three we got took almost three months to collect. In the past it was easy to collect three+ rotors, especially this time of year, but things have slowed down the last couple of years.
They still sell drilled rotors. They just don't grind customer rotors. So, once again does anyone have a good source for disk grinding/resurfacing?

I see it now. I am always a little behind. I was just a little shocked. I was ready to get my disk fixed and now I am back to square one.

Thanks. I'll call Gary tomorrow and as soon as my disk shows up, I get it sent right off to DBR. I sure am putting the miles on my disk if not my Norton! My winter repairs are stretching out and around here, good riding days start happening more and more frequently. It was beautiful today. Temps were in the low 70s, not a cloud in the sky and The Beast is missing his front wheel. Oh well.
Reggie, I did this myself.
