#1 Front disc recommended minimum thickness

Post by buchies » Mon Jan 23, 2012 5:52 am

Hi All,

As mentioned previously my father is in the process of restoring/servicing my newly acquired '61 FHC.

What would members consider the minimum thickness of the front brake discs on a series 1 to be? My car is currently fitted with 3 piston calipers, which we suspect came from a Mark X, if that helps.

I have trawled through the forum but don't see a thread which specifically deals with my query. Could someone point me in the right direction, or alternatively suggest what you believe to be a minimum safe thickness?

Thanks all for a great forum,

Philip
