And really...whilst I can guess what the numbers mean, a little more specific info would be helpful.
And he mentions bells...but not whether he needs a blank universal setup, something for a specific vehicle ? other ?
Or if he actually wants a business to make him a custom setup
Or indeed where he is. If asking for Rotors, I can only assume he is in the US.

Wow, that's a reaction I didn't expect!
They are called rotors because the chap who made them originally was Dutch and I just copied and pasted his specs, though I continued using it.
The setup is totally custom, providing vehicle make model etc is totally pointless.
All the numbers gave all the info required, diameter, thickness etc other than drilled/slotted.
I just asked if anyone had recommendations for somewhere reasonable rather than paying 5/600 for some bang average brakes.
I'll let you guys carry on getting upset about rotors while I go to the pub. 🤣

It's been a good few years since I dealt with them and I've lost track of the contact details, but last time I needed custom parts I approached Hi Spec or Willwood (I forget which) and they put me in touch with a specialist who did low volume and one-off parts. I see Hi Spec work with GSM now and perhaps that was who I dealt with - I don't remember. Anyway, I expect that if you approach the usual motorsport/aftermarket brake caliper manufacturers you'll find one willing to put you in touch with a supplier. I've lost track of the prices too but at the time it seemed pretty reasonable.

Reyland will make you anything you want, within reason. They are called rotors because the chap who made them originally was Dutch and I just copied and pasted his specs, though I continued using it.

No, you gave a list of numbers, with no specifics. That is not the same thing, although as said, one could guess what they mean. But you did not state what they meanThey are called rotors because the chap who made them originally was Dutch and I just copied and pasted his specs, though I continued using it.

And doing a little searching 176mm PCD ( assumed ) seems quite uncommon, as does the 10 hole ( assumed ) fixing.
So is this a part number you have been given ? or measurements taken DIY ?
And nobody asked you for vehicle make or model. I asked is it just a disc only you need, or someone to supply full custom bells to suit whatever disc you need ? Because you did not state.
And one person did recommend Reyland, even if they spelt it wrong, although even google corrects it if you search wrong.
But Reyland, Compbrake, HiSpec can all do custom I believe, but obviously oddball custom will probably cost more than more off the shelf standard fitments as per AP dimensions etc.
