For those who like to fabricate. I used the universal bracket from Speedwaymotors - $10 each and 3/8" thick for the bolted bracket. The bracket tracings should be to scale on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. Take the lines out on cutting. Many pics for reference. I used grade eight bolts for mounting and it rest against the spindle mount so it will not go anywhere. You save about half if you have the means to make them. You fit the 2 pieces with caliper on the bracket/rotor and clamp for proper placement on welding.

I can fax if necessary.
