Dave, I never did see a reply to this, so I looked it up. My Chiltons gives
.460" as the minimum thickness for the rotors. However, the Haynes says
.060" wear is permissible (and we decided the original thickness was .500"
in a long ago thread). I guess you can take your pick. I've seen people
drive with rotors much thinner than that, with no apparent problem (not that
I'm recommending such a thing, just observing).
I've got an original Stanpart TR6 drum that says max dia 9.040"
