obtain/buy the drawings/solid models for the rotor hat and caliper bracket, since they arent making them anymore? Heck, Id be willing to get my hands on just the critical dimensions so I can do my brakes.
Did you ever take dimensions on the parts before you installed them? Do you remember the detailed differences between OEM?
Thanks in advance!

They won't disclose the information
They might have an extra set sitting around....you never know.
They will not give you that info. It's not very hard, 5 x 112 bolt pattern, buy a 996TT rotor, figure out the bolt pattern on that....determine an offset (you need more than what I had for the A8) and then do material specs and design calcs.
You can make the caliper brackets with just a threaded block vs. the welded studs. You could reverse engineer that yourself. But I wouldn't make the blocks until I had the rotor hats in hand and then figured it out on your car.
Or just buy a kit. Would have to be a lot easier.
