<< Hi everyone, 
 
 Just wondering, at what thickness should a front brake rotor be replaced.
  I have mine pulled off and they look very old, probably original.  Just
 thought I'd see if anyone knew off the top of their head.
 
 Thanks,

Mark,

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, BUT I seem to remember the
original thickness should be .042" and they should not be less than .035".  I
had mine cut down to just about that minimum and they squealed really badly.
Harmonics, I guess, but I ended up having to replace them.
