Default You can buy this caliper at Harbor Freight for about $15

then file out a notch to get around the lip and measure your rotor thickness. Or rotors are $68 each from GAP, but shipping is about $50 ;( since they weight 50lbs

Not my pic, min thickness on our front rotors is 28mm

Here's a new rotor, and before I modified my caliper
