This is the information that was posted on the list some time ago.
All 3000's up to BJ8 Phase 2 used a rotor that was 0.375" thick to start and
the factory recommendation is that the minimum thickness, after
grinding, should be 0.300" or more. In other words no more than 0.075" in
total should be removed.
The later MkIII cars started with 0.500" rotors; the same brake as was used
on early TR6s. Although the minimum thickness does not seem to show
up in the Healey Manual most Triumph and Girling literature indicates that
the minimum thickness for these discs is 0.450" i.e. no more than 0.050"
should be removed in total.
