Default While I'm at it......rotor thickness

Rebuilding the front end, was wondering what the thickness of my rotors should be. I don't know how old they are but while it's all apart, if they are marginal I might as well replace while I'm replacing the bearings and races.
Thanks !

A couple of years ago, I started a fuel filter change on my '77. Six months later, I had a new engine, new front end, detailed firewall, new sound system....
