I am un-able to source replacement rotors for my Cutlass big brake up-grade.
The are from a 2003 Chevy S10 Blazer 2wd Extreme pkg with the DP calipers.
All parts chains and on-line sources show only one rotor size. Autozone P/N 50047 is what they all cross to, but this is NOT the right part. The GM OEM rotors I have are 10.75" DIA (not 10.5") and are @ 1.125" wide. The rotors are stamped E-5 CANADA 27.5mm MIN THK and have the numbers 15733700
and also 129602. I have spent hour and hours on-line trying to find a GM P/N. GM Parts Direct does not show a match for any of the numbers on the orig. rotor.
If any member has access to the GM Dealer Parts fiche or computer, I would greatly appreciate help locating the GM OEM Part Number. Also a parts breakdown, diagram and any other info would help me out a lot.
Once I get this brake conversion completed I'll post pix. I do know that the se DP HD brakes were only on a limited number of S10 Blazer 2wd Extreme 1998 to 2003.

TIA

stupid question time: are you sure that the way you measure rotors is the same as the way they measure them? if you have a set that you measured, did they have rust on them that could account for the difference? could they be c5 corvette rotors?
 
These are definitely different rotors and that is one of the advantages of using the S10 Blazer Dual Piston Calipers. The brakes have a larger diameter and are thicker. This is confirmed by the min thickness stamped into the rotor itself. The stock rotors are stamped 24.5mm and the ones I got off the 2003 Blazer are stamped 27.5mm min. thickness. This is not a question of mis-measurement. These rotors are definitely a different part.
My guess would be since this brake option was relatively rare, the aftermarket companies do not MFG. replacement rotors for them.
I was hoping another member here had done the conversion, or might have access to a donor vehicle VIN # so I can get an OEM P/N from GM.
