Today’s speed up world they are cast in the morning, machined at lunchtime and fitted in the afternoon kind of thing, JIT Manufacturing has a lot to answer for ;-).

Thing is if your new discs do show signs of a warp they can be reground and they will be fine. Simon (SiFab) or Cain (Wolf) would probably know of a good contact for disc grinding. Peter M who is retired arranged for a few sets to be ground for me but these were sold to Cain when he bought my king pin business and stock of spares.
