I'm willing to check the Bentley & even go out & measure my '79, but, I'm not understanding what you want... measurement on the calipers(total thickness: inside to outside?), the pads, or the rotors (new & worn to min.?), or what?

[MrGolf]

I am sorry. I mean the min and max measurements for the rotors.
Thanks

The wear limit is 11.5mm, or 0.452". Rotor typically have a lip on their edge which will make checking them with low tech tools difficult, but with the lip ground off the rotors are shot if you can slip a 7/16 wrench over the them.

Original rotor thickness is supposedly 12.9mm, although some of the Chinese-produced rotors may vary from that, especially if clean-up cuts are necessary to make the new cheap rotors even usable.
