I was going to do just that, but I decided against it because:
a.You will need to cut the mounting holes (areas) completely off as shown in the pic above, other wise the difference is too small to make a bracket.
b.You will not lose much (if any) surface contact even if you trim the rotor down to 297mm.

Heres why:




The outer circle is of course the original 315mm rotor and the inner circle is the 297mm trimmed rotor.
Now the surface contact between the pads and the rotor is in red, even if you extend the diameter and use the bigger rotor the surface contact will pretty much remains the same.

...and there is an advantage to the trimmed rotor, it weights less

let me know if my logic is wrong.
