Default Custom brake rotors?

Anyone know any places in Scotland that will make custom brake rotors.
Time to replace the rotors on mine but Godspeed want £300 just for the rotor and new bolts to fit to the existing bell. Hoped i might be able to get them cheaper than that. Might even end up replacing the bell's too as think
Godspeed are the only company to use 10 mounting holes, AP and Willwood use 8.

Wilwood use 8 10 & 12 mounting holes, what size disc do you need ?
Hi spec only cut the bell part of a normal cast disc that you can buy down local motor factors, I have been there when they have done it.
let me know what size discs they are and i will find you some.
Failing that just buy some of the right size and have the bells cut off and holes drilled.

Can't find this dimension readily available in my catalogues.
I would phone up EBC get a catalogue and do a lot or searching, or get down to local motor factors and ask to search through some discs for suitable donor ones to cut off the bells.
Take your existing bells with you to see if a good fit.
