Default Need my drums turned

Where can I get my rear drums turned on a Saturday? Should have my new Mintex A/F shoes ready for a quick install next weekend. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll give them a call.

What about vented rotors? My EBC TurdGroove rotors are pretty warped up front. Are these vented rotors still salvagable with a mill, or should I just ditch them for plain ol non-vented rotors?

That is where all of the machine work is done, if you take it to another store, it will ride in a van all around town, then go to the machine shop, then the reverse, take the extra little time and go to the main store, it will end up being a MUCH shorter process.

I can vouch..remeber Alan when your brother and I worked for napa..trust me..you don't want your rotors riding around with us..hahaha

If you mean vented as in a rotor with vanes and not a solid cast, yup, they can turn 'em. Slotted rotors on the other hand people don't usually mess with.
I don't really see the problem with turning them though I guess the lathes they use may have a problem with 'em. Some weekend I'm just going to fab up a mount and start turning my own damned rotors. Pain in the ass having to run out to Discount or Napa each time.
