FYI, Coleman Machine can make vintage rotors to order. If you can send
them a decent old one, they can reproduce it. They make rotors and 'hats'
you can bolt together to mix & match, too. They can be reached at:

One possible solution to the FF rotor problem is to take a worn original
one, machine it down to be the 'hat' and bolt on a replaceable rotor from
Coleman. That's what some Alfas with the Unobtainium Ate brakes have done.
