August 1, 201212 yr Moderator Sorry no dice. The official wear limit on those disks will be maybe 1mm. If their marked or scored their fkd simple. You could maybe vapour bkast the carrier but even that my affect the bobbins. At the end of the day they are a life or death item. Don't take chances.
November 23, 201212 yr Author it would have been purely for cosmetic reasons, but i managed to clean them up with a wire wheel drill bit
November 23, 201212 yr They will just clean themselves when you use them, they will be ok after a few miles. Unless they are FUBAR.
