Hey Rover Folks!

Anyone knows or has info regarding the minimum thickness for Disco 1 rotors (front and back)?

Thanks,
Lionel (95 D1 195k and counting)

As far as the exact measurement, it eludes me. However, I would not have the stock rotors turned more than once. They are not so hefty.

Clif,

Thanks. I can't find any info on D1 rotors on EE. They have a cool documented D2 pad change though...

My service manual says that land rover does not quote a specified minimum thickness and to conssult with land rover dealer for advice.I wasn't sure about mine so I replaced them with the Disc Brakes Australia rotors front and back.
