Yes, as was already said, the wheel holds them on anyway.So you recon I can just drill out the old screws & not replace them?

There are some stainless steel ones on e-bay for a couple of quid

I'm in the same boat as you hun! Took the discs of yesterday and notice the retaining screws were either not there, so chewed up, or rounded off! :frown: Impact driver is the way forward me thinks! Plus they're fun to play with!
Ive been advised to get some Loctite Freeze & Release, its like a WD40 type releasing spray but freezes the nut / bolt down to -45 degrees, causing the seal formed by the rust to crack & allowing the lubricant to get in.
Never heard of it before but Im going to have a look for some over the weekend if I get chance & give it a go. Im gonna get an impact driver too, just so I can bash away at it in the garage :naughty::smokin:
Just out of curiosity what colour do you lot think I should do my calipers (the standard type) Im going to paint them but dont want them too OTT. My first thouhght was all Black, then I decided on all silver, then I thought of the big square bit black with the other part silver but now I have just ordered some bright orange, now the thought is to do the big square bit black with the other bit Orange???
The drilled / grooved discs I think im going to get have a black anti rust coating on them, a bit like the black diamond ones.
