Scoobynet saved me £300!

Scoobynet saved me £300!
After I had been a an airfield day in November I came away with major shuddering when using the brakes. (Godspeed 335mm conversion)
The track layout at the airfield day included two heavy braking zones from 110mph down to 30mph twice.
I guessed that I had warped my brakes so chaged to my spare set until I could afford to buy new ones. Whilst browsing through Scoobynet the other day I saw Dave A post about warped brakes syndrome, one of the replies from ***** mentioned that the problem that Dave was having could be related to build up of crap on the discs.
I remember seeing a lot of crap in the grooves on mine so I whipped one out (the brake disc that is!) and ground out the channels using a dremmel then smoothed down the edges with emory paper. Changed this one over when I got home and.....
....Result = No wobble, shuddering or shaking of anykind, Woo hOO!!
Thank you ***** for your post you have saved me almost £300 now I dont have to purchase new discs (well not yet anyway)
Just goes to show what a great place with valuble info Scoobynet can be.
