As previously mentioned these Brembo discs for an Opel Omega B is the closest match I have been able to find (using them on my 73 Pantera). What needs to be modified is: 1) 5 new Stud holes drilled with the correct pattern/diameter 114,3mm and 2) the center bore needs to be enlarged to fit the Hub (I don´t remember the exact number)

You have to carefully grind a few tenths of a millimeter of your calipers in a few places as this Discs is 286,0mm diameter. I have fitted Volvo 4 pot Calipers but they work also with the stock Girling 4 pot.

Here in the States we have easy access to reproduction early Mustang parts.

Turns out the OEM two-piece (hub and rotor) assembly on the 64-66 Mustang disc brake option is a perfect match for a stock Pantera front rotor.

The hub holds the same bearings, the rotor is a thickness match (just a little bit smaller diameter) and it is a true bolt-on swap.

The original two piece units allowed you to keep the Pantera hub, and its metric wheel studs, by just swapping the rotors. Almost all current versions are cast in one piece (hub and rotor) which is still a direct bolt-on, but you wind up with the SAE threaded wheel studs from the Mustang.

They are very inexpensive on eBay.

Your offer of rotors may be more practical for European owners. Lack of our response from USA is likely due to the Mustang rotor option already readily available.

If you are not limited on the thickness of the rotor, you will find that a listing for a 67 Ford Thunderbird will fit the hub and the bolt pattern.

It is 11.9" od and 1.25" thick.

This is what was used on the Mustang Trans-Am race cars.

I would go in that direction and look to find a caliper that will work with it and your front Pantera hubs.
