    disc rotors? If so none, use anti seize on the grub screw and the back of the rotors. The rotors won't come off once the wheels on.


    Disregard the above ^^^^^^

    Disco I, not Disco II. Completely different brake disc setup.

    Did they have any threadlock when they came apart? Correct torque is probably more important.

    Just had a look and you are 100% correct . Completely different. The d2 system seems like a walk in the park compared to changing D1 rotors.

    Loctite 270 is high strength. 2701 seems to be a close replacement. Probably any medium to high strength threadlock would do the job.
