More Information for BENDIX PRT1067 (rockauto.com) ... looking through several, looks like they agree on ~ 1.18" nominally, but 1.12" as the minimum. I just linked the Bendix as it's pretty much a standard replacement.

I wouldn't sweat it too much. This guy obviously stopped before ramming his car into the brake shop.

Minimum rotor thickness. See the pics below.

I know a guy that was young and dumb way back when........that did not have any squeak on his brakes and had no sign of the front rotors being worn. Until he pulled into a parking lot one day an hit the brakes to slow down to turn into a spot to park.

Brakes failed as his 4wd F250 dual piston caliper (pistons) ALL 4 came OUT of BOTH calipers and fluid went everywhere. NO brakes, red dash light, no brakes no matter how hard you push. Luckily he was in 2nd gear and just rolled into the parking curb and he hit the functioning e-brake.

When he pulled the tires, he seen almost the same thing. The inside disk plate was 99% GONE on BOTH inside of the BOTH rotors and just had the dividers between the disk there and you bet ya, they were heavily worn. Ah NO turning these. These are not them but a great example of how bad they can get.
