I cleaned up a lightly rusted pair with a wire wheel in a drill.

It worked a treat.

Just clean them up and fit

They can be skimmed.......

Disc Skimming

But not an everyday thing !

Your life isn't worth the cost of a couple of new discs? Best of luck mate.

Drilled discs = crap, they can shatter under hard use, a new set of grooved discs are not expensive, or just upgrade to 4 pots
