front brake disc minimum thickness

Post by caddyman » Sat Aug 09, 2008 9:29 am

Does anyone know what the minimum thickness of the front brake discs are? I know the figure maybe cast into them but its raining outside!
I have a precision engineering company in Cardiff and have machined hundreds of other peoples front discs over the years, I am so tempted to wip mine off and make them like new again, I have to change the pads anyway as the light has just come on.

Any info would be greatfully received.

32mm. Make sure you re-countersink the holes otherwise they will eat pads.
