You can get grade 10.9 hardware just about anywhere.

I do believe that. But, I think these nuts have some kind of locking built in. Looks like the same type of crashed on one side like exhaust manifold nuts. I might be wrong here, but that is how it looks like to me!

Yeah, can also find nuts like that anywhere that sells quality hardware. Obviously won't find stuff like that a place like Ace Hardware.
I wouldn't use that as an example. Grade 5 SAE hardware is nowhere near the strength I would consider for holding my brakes together.
yeah, self locking nuts.. like this

SAE Grade 8 is close to metric 10.9, "high strength"
Metric 12.9 exceeds SAE Grade 8. Probably close to F911 it aircraft hardware.

Finally, I have found replacement for OEM stock rotor rings. For all of the others that have to use stock size/type replacement (like those that race in SCCA B-Street class), here is a solution that is cheaper than a single one from the dealer:
Spec for building the same one are located

I just got a set myself a month or so ago and price went up a bit, but it is still OK.

I just got a quote just south of two bills per which I feel is very reasonable. Thank you for this information and wanted to ask about hardware you are currently running and if you could link me to them. I tried a few in this thread but only one was still active. If not no worries.
