Crack Disc question and photos.
Turbo Mini Forums

Well I've spotted a very small crack in one of my discs (it's really hard to spot), see if you can........... do they need changing do you think?

just fill the crack with some chemical metal.. job done

lol good effort!

i had a vented set on an astra that were cracked right through to the center via the stud hole!

for god sake dont bodge that.. get it migged up properly and buff the weld down so its flush again.

Defo replace it. When I read this topic title I thought the pics might be useless, then I saw who started it

Just use your hand brake to stop.

Deffo change em, not worth the stress thinking about it for the cost and effort involved

I'm feeling Denis's idea get it welded correctly no bodges here

It's only at one side of the disk, you'll be fine

you don't need your brakes for acceleration!

on a serious note, I'd replace the discs - can't put a price on safety

just disconnect that calliper then you can have torque brake to go with your torque steer

Yes i moved to the darkside

I count atlast 9 stress cracks in that picture good effort . Its interesting how they are all in the centre of the disc face.

Paint them and turn them into paper weights

Own the day

I'd seriously choose a different make too - whoever dreamt up those grooves hasn't the first clue about about how discs expand.

Note the main crack is at exactly 90 degrees to one of the inside grooves (and dead in the middle of it) and parallel to the outer grooves....

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

What make are the discs I'd have a word with supplier just to see what they could do about it with regards to replacement

They are shocking. I've never had a disk crack like that.

The only ting they're good for stopping is doors.

Great answers chaps. TBH i think these are good discs, i've had them on the car now for many years and it's not a standard car after all. I may not do track days but i do use the car lol.

Just for you that thought i was on another planet, new discs and pads are now fitted to car :)
