Depends upon who you talk to. 
Someone selling you rotors will probably say something like 0.325"
Someone who designed the brake will probably say something like 0.300"
Someone who is cheap like me and has seen them in use at under 0.200" would
probably say 0.250"

Dear group

Does anyone know the minimum thickness of the front brake rotors of a 60
BN7.
Or is there a minimum allowable/tolerable runout of the rotors.
The friction surface of the rotors are in good shape and really do not need
to
be resurfaced however I do not want the pedal to pulse or the steering wheel
to shake under braking.

Your wisdom is greatly appreciated

BTW I plan to attend the International Healey challenge at Road America in a
few weeks and am questioning if anyone else is going.

Thank you
