Rear Disk - two different kinds

[Trapez]

As I found out the hard way there are two different kinds of rear disks for the Valk
But may or may not be an issue ... I think

Lightweight - The lightweight rear disk has been shaved in the center around the mounting bolts
its really lighter and its the one I have that needs to be replaced (its down to about 5.50 mm the pads actually stick into the upper and bottom lip making it slow for the pads to compress away from the disk!

Here you can see that the whole mounting area was shaved down and the mounting bolt holes are not recessed.  Picture shows the bolt head sticking out


Here you can see its been shaved down to around 3mm


Heavyweight - The one I order from Pinwall. Its not shaved and it way heavy, its the same thickness from top to center.

Here you can see the mounting bolt holes are recessed as to make the bolt heads fush with the disk


So what does this mean for me???? Will I have issuse??? Am i in trouble

You cannot change between old a new disks.  Some have shimmed an old disk to fit a newer wheel (I wouldn't do that) but that's not your situation.

I shimmed mine about 70,000 miles ago. NO problems since

Thanks Avanti and Chrisj, this really cuts through the confusion 
Its also better to search for "rear rotor"  ???

Mine is Standard 1997 - mid 1999, need to order #43251-MT8-000

1J = 43251-MT8-000  /97 - mid /99
----------------------------------------

If any one needs the newer J2 (43251-MBY-671) 6.5mm rear rotor let me know, to give back
to the forum its yours for the asking, otherwise its going in the trash after I keep it for 10 years

How much do you want for it?

$0, its of no use to me. I just now took it off and put the old one back on until I get the correct one and so that I can get my garage back.

If you really want to get rid of it, how about I pay for shipping?
