Surface rust on the swept area is not a problem -- brake pads are great at removing rust. You can always take a wire brush to the edges if you f; /html/mgs/2003-06/msg00091.html (9,126 bytes)

After it has been ground once, how would you know what the original thickness was? Why don't they just spec it as a minimum total thickness, rath; /html/mgs/2003-06/msg00107.html (9,738 bytes)

Up to .040 inch can be ground off the original .350 to .340 inch. So when the disc needs to be ground to below .300 or .310 its time to replace the disc.

I am pleased to see that I managed to start a thread of respectable length. If my rotors turn out to be above the minimum, I will probably leave them alone for now.
