Do a search on here for the lug conversion stuff.  This has been covered many times, and there are a couple different options.

Best bet would be to find a donor car, or someone parting one out, and they are rare, but I have seen new replacements on eBay.

map351 is making fiberglass ones for a VERY reasonable price.  He sells them on eBay, and on here as well.

alright
i think i have found the solution to this problem.speedway motors has a kit you can purchase,several actually,and they come with11
inch rotors so if you have a road racer you might want to check it out.some come with the big g.m. caliper
