Well what a bummer! I can't even edit my own posts to add more information!

I've drawn around it, and measured it the best that I can. the holes marked 'A' are for the brake caliper, the holes marked 'B' are for the hub bolts, so you can confirm measurments from them. If you print off the drawing to fit an A4 paper, it should then be the correct size.

Thanks for the drawing. What were the calipers off that you used? Did you say you were making more plates?

The calipers were off a Sierra 4x4, you'll also need the caliper carriers,The discs came from the same vehicle..

As for making any more, no chance! I made those when I was in an engineering job some 14 - 15 years ago, I left there shortly after under medical orders, the factory burnt down some 5 - 6 years ago. (I didnt do it!)

If you get really stuck or are going to get raped over them, I can potentially mill them for you at cost of the material plus funds towards the milling tool wear ;)

 

Having said that I would think somewhere would laser cut those fairly easily for you...
