    Brake Rotors

    Trying to restor my 1970 rotors with 50K miles. Some have suggested buying new ones ~ $300. I am thinking sand-blasting, zinc coating, resurfacing. Suggestions.

    Thanks

    If they are thinner than the wear limit spec, then replace. End of story.

    As above if the run out and thickness is o.k. Media blasting and refinishing is a must, zinc finish high temp paint or even powder coat the hub, getting into the flutes is going to be hard, and you may find dipping better to get rid of rust issues, if I was restoring the car I'd just go new....
