best recommended tool for? Group: alt.trucks.chevy Date: Sat, Jun 4, 2005, 4:58pm (CDT-1) From: snipped-for-privacy@nospam.charter (Anon) What's the best recommended tool for measuring the thickness of pads/linings/rotors to the nearest 1/10th of a mm . =A0 Thinking I need
2 tools. So for something that says: Check the rotor parallelism (thickness variation); it must vary less than 0.01mm at four or more points around the circumference. Make all measurements at the same distance in from the edge of the rotor. I'm looking for a decent tool to do that as well also, I looked at my friends rotors and one of them has really small grooves (not deep ones) in it. =A0 I'm thinking about having them resurfaced -or- just getting 2 new ones since they're not that expensive. thanksA Metric Micrometer comes to mind..I can understand the rotor part but you dont need this for pads....What are you trying to do?
