Perry,

I rebuilt my calipers and had the rotors turned on my TR3A.  The biggest
problem was trying to find someone to turn the rotors.  I couldn't find
specs for them anywhere, they weren't stamped on the rotors as is customary,
and shops that rely on their "license to turn rotors" weren't about to risk
it.  I finally found a general mechanic that had a machine and was willing
to do it. I live in California, the situation may be different elsewhere.
>From what I'm told, the TR3 rotors are very beefy and there isn't a safety
risk in having them turned down a bit.
