Mazda MPV rotors for TC rear

Been reading about this: '94-95 Mustang axles, 1990 Mazda MPV 3.0 V6 front rotors (10", 5 lug x 4.5" pattern, 2 7/16" offset), 1/8" spacer behind the rotor to space it out to 2 5/16" offset. To work with stock TC rear calipers.
Now for those of us who live in the boonies up North, there aren't any '94 and newer Mustangs in the junkyard. However I believe I can order the axle shafts and MPV rotors through the local parts store. (I already have the wheel spacers) which is a decent alternative to not finding anything in the JY.
This method should also work for those who use the North-race-cars brackets for Mustang width offset....which is what I'm looking to do to allow some meats under the wheelwells.
Now the question is what shafts would work for the Mustang width? Would the Ranger/Aerostar shafts work with a disk brake rotor? (I doubt it) How about cutting off 3/4" from a newer Stang shaft? I also read the Lincoln caliper flip for 5 lug swap on Fox Stangs, and they mention Ranger axles, so maybe it would work?

Hmmm...interesting. Are they composite?

Cast to SAE/OE standards according to autozone. And they are vented. My brother runs the store in town, and I may stop by there and see if he has one on the shelf.
