Re- facing disc brakes.

[procrastinator]

Been re working some discs to be able to fit a handbrake calliper instead of the original one. Question is, is there any benefit of the vanes between the braking surfaces being set in a bit? They were about 8mm further in as standard, but are flush now.

Looks like this now.

Might make a noise like blowing across a bottle top, can't think of any other real disadvantage.

You mean like ladies doing naked skydives?

Probably full of mud after the first100 yards anyway!

If some debris or a stone comes through it will smash into the caliper instead of getting knocked into the gap - that's why they're usually set back about the side of the vane holes. Other than that, not issue really.

Propagation of cracks?
