I agree with you, Jerry. The only reason I bring up any safety concerns is that I'm not 100% sure of the differences between the two rotors. If the hat section is the same size, and the vanes are full depth (I've ran into them that only went 1/2 way on the vanes), then there shouldn't be an issue.
I do think you've got the right idea, try it with a junk rotor first. Alos, if it does work, make sure you use a good quality new rotor, sometimes the aftermarket ones are made different that the oe, liike the reduced vane depth I mentioned.
