Default Need help finding rear rotors 6x4.5 to fit my 92 dak.

I have 92 4x4 5.2l with 6x4.5 lugs. Dana 60 rear Dynatrac axles that have ford explorer pads and calipers. Which leads to solid .5in rotor 1.5in hat disc/e brake and problem is I can only find a 5lug
and nowhere to drill them(b.s.) then to have them customs made is $204 a piece(t.f.b.s)
2005 Nissan exterra fit my 6x4.5 but it was vented and explorer calipers w/pads would not fit....?please help

The question that comes to me is; What rotor do you have now? Can you identify it? If not can you post a picture so the people who might know can try to identify it?

Pictures would be nice.... FWIW someone went to a lot of work to keep the 6x4.5 bolt pattern.....
Its a long shot, but have you looked at rotors for say a 03 durango? The bolt pattern is correct, but the thickness is .8 Here is a link. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...13122&jsn=2258

One other thought, can you contact who built the rear, and see where they sourced the rotors?

Something is not right...... You said it was a solid rotor, and your picture is vented...... Explorer has a solid rotor.
That caliper does not look like a explorer. Enclosed is a picture of a 8.8 out of a explorer in my truck.... The second picture shows the explorer rotor is solid.. The third picture is the best I have of the caliper on the inside.
Are you sure that is a dana 60? If you could show a picture of the diff. cover it would help....... so we could see the bolt pattern.
Any chance what you have is a 9.25 out of a 03 or so dakota or durango? It looks more like that too me. But the pictures you supply are hard to tell much from.
