New front rotors

While changing calipers, I also changed rotors to a ventilated style.
The bottom one is the original unventilated rotor from a 1967 Jaguar XJ6 and the top one is
from a 1968 XJ6. I had .150" machined off off to take some weight off. The brake shop
advised against taking off so much material because they might warp but I assured
them that this was a racing application and long term life wasn't a big consideration. If
I find that braking performance is stellar and I want to lose even more weight, I can remove a
spacer from the Wilwood calipers and run the lighter unventilated rotor.
