@tomsealbeach that would be fantastic…

this brake disc issue is around for a long time…. And 99% of the time it seems like it just fizzled out … in defeat.

Here's what I think the problem is, the Pantera numbers are already small, but at any one time there might be 10-20 owners that need replacement rotors. A company like Centric is owned by another parent company called APC Automotive Technologies, I recall StopTech was another company under that umbrella. APC filed bankruptcy in mid 2020 (maybe because of pandemic related issues but that was just the start of the pandemic).  Taking on a specialty project for a production run of 50 or 100 rotors at a $50-100 retail price isn't a big project to these companies and thats why we are seeing these problems. Although, a production run might make sense if this part is an identical part match and cross fit to a Mustang rotor for 68-69 cars.  Does anyone know which cars rotors are an identical match?  Mustang, Cougar, Maverick etc?  I'm just thinking forward on the arguments Mike Drew had to deal with when he made the deal with Centric to do a limited run.
