C rotor minimum thickness specs?

Anybody know what the minimum rotor thicknesses are for a C coupe, front and rear. Not having any luck finding this information.

Also cant search on the 356 registry. Guess that is a members only feature?

Thanks!!
BK

From my archive of 356talk emails before they went all forum-y

The shop manual says min thickness of front discs is 9.8mm [.386"]; rears
9.3mm [.366"]. Run-out of fronts .2mm [.008"]; rear .3mm [.012"]. Most
brake drums and discs get turned when it isn't necessary. Some roughness is
acceptable.

I'd also recommend finding a copy of Elfrinks Tech Manual for the 356
