Default WillWood Brake Conversion /need rotor spec

I just put a set of WillWoods all the way around the car.. You HAVE to use a vacum pump to bleed these an they are still tough..would take any tips from whom ever may have done this..Also.. I didn't change rotors at this time cause they were new when I bought the car and havn't more than a few thousand miles on them. I friend said I should mic them anyway to make sure I have enough meat.. Does any one know the max/min thickness of stock rotors for a 69' BB Coupe? The 2 manuals I have don't say..and couldn't find thru Google..
Thanks in advance..
Cary

Take the rotor off and read what's cast on the inside.

It's stamped / cast into the rotor on the inside under the hat where it's completely impossible to see unless you remve the rotor

Anyway it says Min Thickness 1.215"
