alright, sorry it took so long for me to get back to this thread, but i had about an hour of down time at work with nothing to do and i could not find a single rotor that would fit the description. i couldnt measure the 93 cobra rear rotors because we dont stock them, but i seriously doubt that those are the ones we are looking for. i looked at explorer rotors and anything that would possibly fit that bolt circle and couldnt find anything. my mind is boggled
TC rotor measurements from an old used TC rotor:
OD = 10 5/32"
Offset from inside face where axle sits to inside rotor face 2"
Hole for axle 2 1/2"
Rotor thickness (used rotor) 15/16"

Subscribing, since I'm interested also. A friend and I were talking yesterday about rear rotors and my Mark VII setup. He was wondering about the newer Mark VIII rotors also, and maybe making them work with Ranger axles and fabricated brackets.

Mike,
He's just thinking about the rotors since he said it looks like the hats were shorter than the others and that would bring the rotor closer to the wheel face. He would use some other calipers maybe and design his own brackets kind of like the North Racecars brackets. But if anyone could make a complete Mark VIII rear end work, he probably could if he wanted to. He makes and designs all kinds of tidbits for cars and such.

A trip to the junkyard today for some reconnaissance reviled that the Lincoln MK 8 had similar rotors. But they were not thick enough and did not have the right offset. Cougars seemed to be in the same boat. Lincoln town cars have solid rotors that aren’t thick enough either.
I noticed that the front rotors were always thicker than the rear rotors. The TC rotor is about 29/32" thick or a little less than 23 MM, thicker than any of the other rear rotors I saw. Could it be that our “Mystery Rotor” is the front rotor from some 5 lug car?

Hey guys, sorry I was on vacation for a couple weeks and I just finally got some pics taken and put them up.
Here are a couple pics of the rotors on my car right now...if anyone's still interested...
Just go here, tried posting on here but it wouldn't let me link.
