These are from my rear brakes. I know it isn't the greatest picture but anyone have an opinion if these look too worn or okay to put back on? I think the remaining surface is about 2mm or so and about twice as thick as the underlying metal.

I'd re-use them. As long as your not down to the metal and are still able to get them adjusted they should be fine.

Thanks for the quick replies. Looks like they are going back in. That's good, save the cash for other bits I need. Is it okay to clean them up a bit with the spray brake cleaner in the can? I'll try to keep it off the braking surface of course.
