Subject: [Healeys] Brake rotors

Hi All 
    My continuing saga of work on the 65 1/2 BJ8 .  Front brakes .  I bought 2 front brake calipers from Apple Hydraulics . Old ones beyond repairable. Now I’m replacing the brake rotors. Old ones very rusty. I can get from Moss a pkg they sell for $99 which includes 2 rotors, brake pads and shims . Other option is AH Spares. $133 for just 2 rotors, then another $50 for pads and shims . My past experience has not been that good with Moss quality. My experience with AHSpares has been the best . So should I spend the extra $$ and get the rotors that I know will work, or take another chance with Moss . I’m in no rush for the parts as I have other things I’m working on . My question is does anyone have prior experience with buying and installing the Moss . Rotors? 
     Thanks as always.  Don.  67 BJ8

I bought 1/2-inch rotors from Moss on sale years ago (maybe a decade). 
They were Brembo (at least, the boxes they came in said 'Brembo'). No 
issues. You might call their sales dept. and ask what they carry. Pads I 
sourced locally; they were 'Spectrum' brand, supposedly made by Ferodo. 
Moss 'Classic Gold' parts are hit-or-miss; if I needed pads I'd probably 
go with EBC 'Greenstuff,' but they're expensive.

If I was in the market, I might go for an EBC kit:

Are your current ones thick enough to clean up? I would recommend having
any new disc or drum trued before using. Especially drums
