Gauging interest: adapter brackets to use 300mm Focus SVT rotors on front with factory calipers

Like rears, Focus SVT front rotors are bolt-on with slightly larger diameter, unlike rears cannot convert with factory parts. Gold Coast does a kit to convert base Fiesta to 300mm, should be possible to do similar for ST. Was thinking of fabbing up a one-off set for my car but got to thinking there might be interest in the community. Not set up for production myself but thought I'd start a thread and if it looked like there was interest maybe could talk Gold Coast or Dpro or Ron into working something up.

You may find as I did when working with Gold Coast Automotive in the development of their 323mm BBK, that it is not cost affective to make this kind of adaptor.
I actually built and tried this but things never did fit just quite right.
The size increase of the rotor is only a little more than 3/8 inch radius over stock and therefore no real gain in stopping force.
I know that Mark at Goad Coast will not do it a we have discussed this extensively.

However, please don't let me stop you in your endeavor.

Good Luck
