FWIW, here's a direct link to 1966 Mustang rotors from the EBC USA website 
(Finched for your convenience):

Three different levels of bling are available.   The images are quite 
generic, but convey the idea quite clearly that these rotors do NOT come with an 
integral hub, and thus would bolt up quite nicely to a Pantera (front and 
rear).

Summit even has two of them with free shipping!

Note that the generic ones are sold 'each' while the upgraded ones are sold 
as a pair.   So the price difference isn't as great as it seems.

EBC goes out of their way to establish that their rotors (well, most of 
them anyway) are UK or Italian-made:

And their 3GD sport rotors are so anti-Chinese that they practically wave 
UK and US flags!
