Subject:New Front Brake Rotor Question
From:neil N
Date:Mon, 30 Mar 2009 19:43:56 -0700

Hi all.

I'm installing new rotors on my '81 Westy. I searched archives and
googled a little, but didn't see mention of this.

Do the surfaces on the rotors need to cross hatched with
emery/sandpaper? If so, why? To help bed the new pads?

On my Honda Accord, the new front rotors had a cross hatch pattern on
each face. Hence my question.

Thanks!

Neil.
