Does anyone have the machining specs for the rear brake rotors on a 1973 914? I would like to know the minimum thickness of the rotor so I can tell if mine are thick enough to have them turned.
Thank you, Joe

New are 9.5mm.
The min after machining is 8.9mm.
Then after doing that, the wear limit is 8.5mm.

They used to be so cheap that if they needed turning you threw them away.
