Joe,
 I broke one of mine last spring. Took the brake rotor to the local NAPA
machine shop and asked them to replace all of them - they didn't even bat
an eye at me when I asked, so they must not be too uncommon. I don't 
remember if I told them it was out of a Scout or not, so they may have just
measured and used what fit.
