[DeTomaso] Pantera Parts Connection Rotors - opinions?

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

Brembo has a searchable web catalogue:
 
http://bremboaftermarket.com/En/Car_Disc_Catalogue/Catalogue_Search.aspx
?SearchMode=Size

Unfortunately you can't search for a range, e.g. 280-285 mm diameter,
only exact dimensions.
 
Regarding adapting something, the rear rotor is unusually thick for a
rear rotor, hence you're more likely to find a front rotor off some car
that fits. The front and rear rotors are also very similar in size and
hat offset, I adapted the same Volvo rotors front and back to my car.

While speaking with all these companies, it might be worthwhile to try
to 
explore if they DO have a rotor for some other application that would
work? 
Given that the bolt pattern is common to Dodge and Ford, I would think
it 
likely that an existing rear rotor for some other vehicle would easily
be 
adapted to the rear of the Pantera.

Pantera front and rear rotors are a different diameter, by the way--the 
fronts are slightly smaller. Pat Orlando measured a couple for me and
gave me 
very rough measurements of 11 3/4 rear and 11 1/4 front. I've seen other
rotors measured at 297mm and 284mm, which is roughly the same. So
although 
Mustang rotors have been used on all four corners, I think there are
some 
fitment issues (I don't know if they're too big for the front or too
small 
for the rear).

It would take a lot of research, but I bet if somebody provided the 
manufacturers with EXACT measurements of stock Pantera rotors, something
would come 
up that would work as a direct-fit replacement....
