72 Oldsmobile Cutlass brakes

[Fat Cat]

Does anyone have rotor turning specs for a 72 Olds Cutlass with disc brakes. My books only go back to 1978.

Minimum rotor thickness is stamped on the rotor somewhere, usually on the inside in a non-machined area.  Hit it with a wire brush if you can't see it easily.  Sometimes it's in inches and sometimes in milimeters.

Tried that its not readable. It was actually more visable before I hit it with the wire brush.

If you can find a place with them in stock, check one out to see what it says.   The same rotor was used on a lot of late 60's-early 70's Pontiacs, Buicks and Chevys.....as I'm sure you already know.  

I've got some '72 Ventura rotors at home and can check to see if I can read the spec when I get home if you want me to.

They are not a easy item to get a hold of noone stocks them because of age and they are $90 each new. That is why I am trying to determine if these are usable.

JC Whitney has them for $50 each.  

And Advance Auto (Parts America) has Raybestos for $45 ea.
