im sure minimum thickness is 31.6, i think you could go down to below 31mm. I am going to try this and see how i get on.

If you have a look on the edge of the disc it is stamped as a 32mm indicated minimum thickkness.

Yup agreed 32mil min thickness stamped on disc for sure, good reason for this..skimmed below this could seriously affect the integrity.. Consequences could be not very good..
