Default brake rotor wear question

Hey guys... anyone able to look up a spec from the service manual for me please? I need to know the minimum thickness for the front brake rotors on a 10 GS if anyone has a moment.

Thanks for the help!

New thickness is 32mm so you are right about half way on rotor wear.

By the way the replace thickness should be stamped on the outside edge of the rotor. Might be hard to find if the edge is rusty.

Thanks... just got the car last month and doing some checking on the "current status" of some of the parts. Going to do a TD at Sebring in Oct so I'm planning my service/mods budget. Gotta budget for a service manual sooner than later I suppose... ;-)
