Those rotors have been obsolete for decades. The replacements that Branda and NPD sold are now all out of stock with no prospect of another run I have been told. You might try ether and double check. I would think that if you could find a set like Branda and NPD sold (500.00pr) and found them at any less then twice what they sold them for it would be a deal. Of course you could always change out the spindle to the smaller 68/69 spindle  like so many did for the past 40 years when the proper Boss 302 type rotors could not be sourced. You could also change out to a 1970 Mustang spindle . Ether spindle has a one piece rotor alternative available at local auto parts stores.  Sadly the two piece rotors like the factory for 68-73 have not been obsolete for about a decade leaving only the one piece rotor as a alternative now.  If you can find a equally hard to find rotor hat (machined disc portion)for 68-73 you could press that on to your Boss 302 hub . That is if you even have the hub from the car. Many have been changed out as I mentioned long ago. I hope this helps give a perspective. Keep us posted on what you find out. Best of luck with your search.

I can re use my original hubs as they are good. So does anyone anywhere have a rotor that's usable? Yes I have checked with Branda and NPD already. Thanks.

The other thought is would wildwood rotors fit my original hubs?
