'Never thought this would be such a big problem, but I've had the devils' own time locating replacement (new) front rotors for a friend's '71 1800E.

We've tried ALL the usual sources (RPR, IPD, FCP Groton, etc), and even some 'weird' avenues...a wholesale brake parts warehouse in Milan Italy, a big parts & restoration shop Manchester UK where I go on business (which, by the way, has front drums for a 1931 Riley for chrissakes!), on all the major websites, even some manufacturers (Brembo lists a p/n but its for the 140 and won't work on 1800E). Dealer has them at $130 each (gasp), but that would mean an end to autocrossing the car. Besides, on principle I have a problem telling my buddy that is his sole alternative as he'd been paying around $30.

The Brickboard has a remarkable capacity to help, so....any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance,
Dennis
