Kim,
  Asked this many years ago.  The answer is that there were no 
specifications.  I found a local PepBoys with a British car enthusiast who 
was willing to turn my drums based on "looks like there is still some metal 
left."  Typically they don't go over .060 as a general rule.  So, that make 
be the default limit for most places.

  On the rotors I've heard everything from .425, .375 and even .310.  I used 
the .375 number and got the same PepBoys to turn my rotors with my noting 
that I accepted them turning to what I set as the limit.  I think they 
turned clean pretty close to .450.

That said I'm sure others will disagree.  I'm only telling you what I was 
able to do.  When there is no standard all you will get are opinions - one 
of which is mine.
