Default How thin clutch disc material until needs replaced?

I just got a used textralia and was wondering how thin can the disc get before it needs replaced? Also if it does need replaced where would i get this done at?

If there's an even amount of material left on all the pads, and it's not too close to the metal backing (might need a micrometer to measure), AND the pads are not dirty/chipped/scored/damaged/etc. you should be able to reuse. If you do find any of the above, I would get a new one. If you have to go this route it shouldn't be too expensive - I got a RAM Powergrip HD clutch disc from TexasSpeed for $220 or so. YMMV with Textralia, they're a bit more expensive.

My clutchmasters clutch is/was .308 new (micrometer). They told me if it's below .260, replace it. They of course recommend doing the PP plate and resurfacing the flywheel at the same time since they wear together.
