Derek,
I tend to put copper grease on the inside face of the discs, as like you
said they rust. Just be careful to spread thin and even, otherwise
there is potential to have the disc slightly wonky, which will make the
disc feel like it's warped. I also use copper grease on the back of the
pads too.
Regards,
Steve

Dear All,
For info. & questions.
My front brake discs had been on the car since I built it and were getting
rusty, so time for a change. Problem was I could not get the discs of the hub.
Soaking in WD40 and a mallet was getting nowhere. In the end I bought a very
large hydraulic puller that needed all its strength to get them loose. (and
also broke both of them in the process!) The problem seemed to be just a rust
area around the inside of the discs alongside the hub edge. Hubs seem to be in
very good shape so the rust was all from the disc. Already bought stainless
steel hex counter sunk screws for the new discs.
Q. 1. Does this mean that disc replacement should be time related as well as
mileage? (and obviously on condition)
Q 2. Do any of you assemble the disc to the hub using e.g. copper grease to
help release later? Does it work on brake discs?
