One vendor has conversions with original rotor, selling at 108 quid and a
"specially adapted" whatever that means rotor for a hundred more. AFAIK the
change only involves seals.
The unleaded additive part was printed off in TR action (latest ed), nothing
to do with valve recession and there are not going to be any added anyway
(well not to any extent further to whats in there right now).
Same edition published the report on additives tested by some historic
vehicle federation to counter recession, four out of twelve (or five) passed
the test.
