Re: Would you accept these discs?
disc measure "within specs," then it should be still useable. If not, brake rotors/discs are not that expensive. Change them and enjoy! |

Were they supposed to be new, or sold as good s/h. Which BTW, they're certainly not. The only suitable place to put those, is in a skip. :-) Mike. |

Re: Would you accept these discs?
It certainly appears that these discs have been installed and used briefly
before they were sold to you. It's hard to know exactly what cir***stances led to this situation but the reality of it is that these discs look exactly like they would one day after you installed them whether they were 'new' or not. Certainly its not worth the wait and the shipping expense of returning them just to have them be pristine for that one day. Your old discs belong in the recycling yard; put these on the car.

They look like they've been turned by a ham fisted blind man. I'm concerned that they'll wear funny (like the old ones) if I put them on the car as is and liek you say I paid for new ones so I should get new ones. It loosk like someone else has returned them previously. When I've put new discs on other cars the proper finish on them has certainly lasted more than a day. |

They certainly don't look thay way to me. To me they look like well worn discs that need replacing. Unless the camera is lying, the second from last pic clearly shows the inner flange considerably thinner than the outer, and the last shot appears to show that side to be well worn with grooves..

My advice would be for the OP to send them back, and buy a new pair. Good make 740 pattern discs can be baught for around £35 each. I'd certainly rather fit new discs rather than the s/h and well worn ones he's baught. No matter how good they are supposed to be. Mike. |

I guess the discs were cast then turned down on one side, badly, to make them the required thickness. |
