Well after a few posts about pulsating brakes I finally broke down and bought a flex hone for rotors to recondition them,it WORKED.
Found a 60 grit on fleabay, removed them from the wheel,fixtured them into the cnc mill and went for it.
Pads replaced with Carbone Lorraine SBK (from NCRICK and Joyce at cojent dynamics Great people very helpfull)
Surface finish was not as good as original blanchard grinding,but the high speed vibration and low speed brake surging is gone.
First impressions are very good,took it out to bed them in and so far after near 200 mi still no problems and the pads seem to be coming arond niceley.
So after being skeptcal about stock pads having a transfer problem,I am now a beliver the hone was only 34.90 shipped and is much cheaper than the 5-600 for new rotors hope it lasts.
I am lucky enough to have a mill in my shop and was thinking how one could do this without and had the idea of removing the rotors,calipers and using some inexpensive aluminum spacers or washers from your local hardware store.
I will let everyone know how it works out one ay or another.
