Default Brake Experts - FTAO M. Rainbird etc...

Could you offer me some advice on the following after I have clocked various parts of my front brakes/hubs etc... To try and sort my warping problem

Nearside inner surface of disc:
Middle of disc: 5.5thou
Inner edge of disc: 5.5 thou
Outer edge of disc: 3 thou

Nearside outer surface of disc:
Middle of disc: 7 thou
Inner edge of disc: 7.5 thou
Outer edge of disc: 8 thou

Offside inner surface of disc:
Middle of disc: 6.5 thou
Inner edge of disc: 11 thou
Outer edge of disc: 6.5 thou

Offside outer surface of disc:
Middle of disc: 5 thou
Inner edge of disc: 5.5 thou
Outer edge of disc: 6.5 thou

The hubs have already been skimmed in the past:

Nearside hub:
Inside edge: 4 thou
Outsdie edge: 4 thou

Offside hub:
Inside edge: 2.5 thou
Outsdie edge: 3.5 thou

What is the minimum thickness I should go down to on a originally 32mm thick disc?

o/s disc - 31.35mm
n/s 30.7mm

I haven't managed to clock the bells yet but I will do if I need to?

Thanks
