i’m going to try another way… and unless somebody found already a substitute that fits the 15 inch wheels
You need to go into the current race car circuit. There you will find existing companies that will make any rotor for you.
How much do they cost? Don't ask but they are still less expensive then you can do yourself presuming that you put a value on your own labor time.
I will say that because the original Pantera rotors are solid, you really can cut them past the original posted minimums. That is for most street use and if you are doing a lot of "open tracks" events, you need to go to a system that is easier and more economical to replace at the track on track day.
The rotors themselves generally are ok to over cut but at some point there is a safety factor for limiting the amount of travel that the caliper pistons should be used to. That is affected by the thickness of the rotor.
The original Pantera is just a hybrid of so many parts, including the brakes and I seriously doubt there was any consideration to the car existing 50 years into the future?
I personally have seen experienced "Vintage Racers" go through two or three rotors and pads IN PRACTICE before the race even starts.
At the time that came to $100-150 per corner so it gets a bit pricey just on brakes, not even counting the tires so it isn't as simple as just driving the car to the track, running it, and then driving it home.
You need a plan first and that includes all of the above considerations.
There aren't any vendors that can sell replacement rotors to you at $30 each that don't originate in Taiwan. They are modifications of another application
