Small change of direction on brakes for the front end. I'm not up with the Peugeot models but these are for the 207 and 308 , I did buy the smaller rotors a month ago but was thinking they weren't any real upgrade over stock except venteds.
On with the pics n tell segment ...
I'll start with the size which is now 283mm x 24 m thick and the total height is 1mm taller than escort/Capri vents of 34mm so are just about perfect for the upgrade. The center not as like my smaller ones only needs 2mm lathe to enlarge.
First pic is the rotor after I've layered tape over the face and marked for the holes , this is a simple trick with a compass and verniers, once the center is marked and pin hold it's plain sailing from there on . Measurements are center to center of opposing holes and then the closer ones to create the cloverleaf effect

This pic is the other small 247mm rotor

Rotor bolt hole measurement from the Capri hub

Next will be to drill the holes and lathe the centre to fit the hub, I think I'll lathe the hub to match the rotors , strength isn't a prob at the back of the hub with only 1mm shaved off

Simple geometry Marty. Remember when we said at school when being taught some new thing, 'I'll never use that'.
Rest my case.
Alternatively you could be trying to draw some meridians for map projections?

here was me thinking it was explainin the eclipse from last night.
 
Can you put some orbit dimples in those bigger rotors Marty?
Would go well with the solar system theme thats coming together.
Do you need any longer studs?
I have a few sets over from Nice,  depending on the knurl size needed.

Yeah Marka, I was not of a fail in Maths , kinda just did enough to survive thru to end of yr11 which is when I quit the whole school system.
Anyways today was to finish off the rotors to hub with drill press and a tiny bit of filing. Once everything fits I champhered the edges to reduce any cracks.
I will be cleaning up the hubs when the bearings arrive and they'll be all done at that time.


Also while looking about, I've got a full set of fiesta hubs which have longer but not silly long studs, they look like they'll pull thru a stock Capri stud hole of 1/2" or 12.7mm , slight problem is I don't have a 12.7mm drill bit just a 12.5mm so it'll have to do.
