Replacement Dexter Rotor for 8k Slip On Disc Brake Setup with Rotor Damage

Question:

When Dexter rotors need to be turned, what is the minimum acceptable thickness allowed for safe braking operation? Thanks.

I did some checking and trailer rotors shouldn't be turned actually due to their construction. Also, by looking at the picture you sent in you'd need to go with new rotors anyway as the damage is beyond what turning would be ideal for.

Looks like you have an 8,000 lb axle rotor and would need the part # K71-631-00 as a replacement which is 13 inch in diameter and has an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If you have something different let me know and I'll see what you'd need.
