Brake rotor minimum thickness

[jdcoving]

1972 350/450sl - what is the minimum brake rotor thickness specification for front and rear rotors?

The min thickness should be stamped on the rotor somewhere. Maybe not on vintage ones.

If the rotors are to OE specs, the thickness is also in the FSM. If you don't have one, go to Benzworls 107 forum and look in the stickies (EGv107) One of the first items under Service Literature gives links to two sources of the FSM. The 2nd one is better.

I just did a brake job on my 72 350SL and checked the rotors, but I forget what they measured.
