Reply to "Rotors and Windshields"

Curious about those rotors that John Freeth supplied, thinking they might be a custom solution like the one in this photo (two piece design with a custom 'hat' section).

Regarding the two OEM versions Denis mentioned.....was chatting with the owner of 8MA1006 recently and learned that his car has the early 2-piece rotor setup. My car (8MA1010) has the later 1-piece setup.  Since each version requires a different rear axle (and front hub, or course), that's probably how both these cars left the factory.   But who knows if the switchover was this clean...i think safe to say the supplies of the original 2-piece solution were getting pretty slim when 8MA1000 was rolling off the line....

Here are measured dimensions from the 1-piece rotors on #1010. 

Front 11.5“ dia x 0.550”  (per DeTomaso: 292 x 14mm) 

Rear 11.0“ dia x 0.490”   (per DeT: 280 x 12.5mm but "268 mm" is sometimes listed - - maybe that's for the earlier version?)

Overall heights/thickness = 2.56" (front) & 2.61" (rear).

NO idea about the early rotor dimensions.  Does anyone have info & photo of an early factory rotor unbolted from it's cast hub btw?  Regards, Nate
