The early disc brakes and some that were delivered from the factory were about 3/16" thick at the center where they are splined and fit the hub. These squeal like a banshee, the replacement OEM parts are thicker there and eliminate the squealing.

Fact of the week
Australia was the first nation to successfully convert its paper-based currency to polymer banknotes, a technology developed in the same country. The first polymer banknote was a commemorative $10 note issued in 1988 to mark the Bicentenary. The first polymer banknotes were also the first to feature a transparent "window" as a security feature.
