Dr Diff sells them, you might give him a call and ask if he'll weigh one for you. You might have someone with a lathe cut them down a bit too but it would seem a bunch of work for little gain. Copper

if all out race car is not in your future, cutting stock rotors is a waste of time and money in my opinion. if better stopping power is your goal, it would be better money spent if one perused the different pad material available, then select what suits your driving style best. just my opinion, your mileage will vary.

Closest your going to find is a set of drilled and slotted ones though not sure the weight savings is much. RockAuto has them. Weight not listed though, 79 Cordoba is the application. Great info here. Thanks! Also, Firm Feel sells really good pads for Mopars. I run them on both my Mopars with the 11 3/4" rotors.

A ‘76 Fury has the 11.75 rotors too. Used to be a good swap, maybe other this are better now? The adapters are hard to find. I thought Andy f was making them though.
I want my fair share

I have 11 3/4 rotors. Got the brackets from DrDiff. No difference in braking. Waste of time and money. Will go back to the 10 1/2 needed.
