Heard,
I can't help much with the establishment of central depository for
information but a search in the archives under "disc thickness" produced
this, which I sent to the list some time back.
"The minimum disc thickness of .335in (8.51mm) referred to in Section
MMM7 of your Workshop Manual applies to cars fitted with the earlier
Girling 14 brakes. These brakes used 0.375 in thick rotors and were
discontinued at car number HBJ8 26705.
Your car HBJ8 29432 should be fitted with Girling 16 brakes. (The brake
model is cast on the outside of the caliper).
The Girling 16 brake used 0.500 (12.7mm) in thick rotors. The minimum
thickness for your rotors, assuming that the correct brakes are still
fitted to the car, is 0.450 in (11.4 mm). If yours are less than 11mm I
would recommend new rotors."

Subject: Disc thickness and torque questions
Hi Folks,
Quite a while back, someone, I think it may have been Michael Salter,
gave
me the minimum thickness for the front discs. I can't seem to locate
that
information now, so if someone could forward that to me, I would be very
appreciative.
Which brings up another question regarding finding this type of
information
in general. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere that lists this and
the
various torque settings? I see references scattered here and there in
the
workshop manual, but it seems rather difficult to dig out what you need
when
you need it. Is there somewhere else I should be looking? Or has
anyone
taken the time to put something like this in a spreadsheet?
Thanks for any help. See you at Conclave.
