I don't trust parts people when they say "no more\last,etc"
Supply and DEMAND

That said I was told most if not all new discs are made quite close to their minimum thickness so you get less serviceable life out of them.

I can only tell you what I can see while logged into RDA's system
They have none.... but I can't tell you when their next shipment arrives Plus theres plenty of other suppliers I can make some calls if we really want to know

i bought nrand new rotors and pads for the 120y setup i had in my ute
i was told by covs and repco that "noone" makes pads or rotors for the late model 120y front end ,so i rang around and end up finding a set of pbr rotors ,when they arived i messured them and there only 1mm thicker than the minimum thickness ! ,and as for pads ,noone had them ,end up finding a set or coretech pads (realy realy nasty) and then thought ide have a look through the bendix book at dads shop turns out the book has actual size picture/outlines of the pads and i just went through it till i found one that matched ,and it was from a sigma from memory ,this was after ringing everyone in perth and being told that noone will make stuff for datsuns cos theres none on the road

How important is it that they are australian-made? We still have tons of rotors & pads here, but they are all japan-made. And very inexpensive too.

I don't think place of origin is important on this one but freight from us to aus is stupidly expensive for some unknown reason.
If they are jap made surely can source from jap not USA as freight much cheaper for aus

Ok, according to the brake place, been in business 50 years... There are no RDA or DBA discs in the country in the supply chain. I got the last Brembo pair in stock by the importer of Brembo, which is some truck parts company. Strangely they are 6 mm smaller in diameter.
Mine are Brembo DR314 (40208-H1006) Made in Italy. This is not to say some shops have their own personal stock. If someone has a different opinion, post it up.
