        I'm at the crossroads on a disk brake conversion on my Lark. I was looking at some old threads and this one popped up. If minimum thickness is .330 I have a set of rotors in my stash that are .360. How marginal are my rotors?

          In case anyone is wondering-- that would be correct.

          (I did look it up)

            Probably one .030 (.015 per side) resurface away, but useable.
