Brake discs, reasonable price???

I want some plain 10.5" rotors, <9.6mm thick - the ones with a separate alloy mounting bell (which I'll make myself).
Only price I got so far was £75 + VAT each from APracing. Ouch
Anyone know a cheaper source?
Thanks

Thanks but no cigar - those are all vented & much thicker than the ~9mm I'm after

Its ok - I gave up smoking.


The link was more a reference for a contact no. for an enquiry as to if they might have others in stock or be able to get them for you.

Hope you can find what your after

I'm toying with the idea of buying stock 10.5" discs for an ordinary car and machining the middle off and drilling the 6 bolt holes; why should I not do this?
OK I'm worried about introducing stress raisers & creep in the cast.

If you are doing this, why not machine the bits from scratch?

Did you price the rotors from Wilwood?
