George,

I believe they were milled. I sent them the 3mm racing hurleys. Each apex seal was matched exactly to a specific slot on each rotor and labeled. They must have a jig also to make sure the 3mm end caps and buttons worked.

Barney,

What was their process?

Ed,

Pineapple did my 3mm rotor work. It was done fairly fast, and done well.

Well, the decision has been made. Thanks in part to the wife's continued interest in my warm body on cold winter nights, the decision has been made to purchase new rotors and rotor housings. $$ but apparently I am worth it {:>)

I looked into milling out the slots to 3mm and that would have been the cheaper approach - but cheap approach is probably partly responsible for me being in this situation - so going to try a different approach this time. Besides leery of using a rotor which clearly has been subjected to sufficient loads to scrape metal off its surface and peen over apex slot.

In the process of getting quotes.
