Default How much material on a stock clutch when new?

I'm just trying to figure out how much life this clutch has left in it. I believe its either a stock clutch or a Z06 clutch.

I measured the material on one side as .8 w/ a micrometer. Any idea how much life would be left on it ?

WTF are you measuring? If inches, you have several clutches stacked together. If mm, I'm still confused. What unit does it have 0.8 of?
