If you use a diamond grinding tool similar to the flywheel grinding as mentioned earlier it may work but chances are that they will shatter.

The pictures shown of those discs. They are shot. UNusable and NOT machineable.

Well, people have told me before some things could not be done (using 964 cylinders on a type 4 for instance), but I am a stubborn sob....

Today I wanted to show you it IS possible to machine them and I HAVE done it!





They look fiber-ish, but are very smooth, I assure you Its just difficult to capture with a flash light.

Still not proof they will work on the car, but one thing at the time
