Just going through the workshp manual, which is all in imperial for some reason, and there are a number of sums written there for New and Refinished sizes.

Front - new 51/64" refinished 43/64"
Rear - new 47/64" refinished 39/64"

Hard for me to understand this so using the old grey matter calculator i thought I'd run a mathmatecal equasion over this to convert back to metric.

As an inch = 25.4mm I did the following:

25.4 divided by 64 multiplied by 51 gave me 20.24mm

Similar calculations gave me the following:

Front new 20.24mm refurbished 17.06mm
Rear new 18.65mm refurbished 15.48mm

Now someone please check the figures because this doesn't make much sense.

The rear solid rotors on my car certainly say Min thickness 17.5mm yet here's the factory manual telling me that 15.48 is the min.

Interesting also to see that Larry runs a stock DT fonts that say 19mm on them and here's the manual saying 17.06 min on the front.

Nothing is ever easy is it?

I'm trying to sort this out for two reasons.

1. The rear axle job is so intensive, I don't want to do it again in a year because my rotrs are down.

2. Rotors and pads are common wear items that must be available down here. They are probably shared with some other car and available from EBC dealer locally. I just need to go to EBC with the right dimensions and have them match up a set of rotors for me.
