Brake Disc Retaing Screw Size

[andyjstone 6]

Just drilled out the old broken brake disc retaining screws on my 1.9 hubs soon to go on the 205, but I think I need to re-thread the holes as they are still full of bits of rusty old screw (sounds like a porn movie, not that I'd know of course ), anyone know what the thread size is?

6x1mm according to Servicebox.

M6. If you need new bolts Screwfix will sell you a box of 100 for about the price of 4 of the little buggers from Peugeot!

Presumably they are just an M6 countersunk screw or is there something special about them?

Sorry to hijack this tread but are the 205 1.9 rear brake disk retainer screws the same size as the gti 6 ?

 

Cheers

1900 Front, Yes andy M6 counter sunk M6 x 1.0. Plenty of coppar slip and don't do them up too tight!

1900 rear, possibly countersunk M5 x 0.8 Surgie, or maybe M6 x 1.0, sorry not sure

speak to Pugtop (kev) he can get you some (usually has loads...) stainless screws for this purpose for not a lot

[philfingers 5]

I wouldn't recommend stainless bolts unless you're using a good quality anti-seize (and not just copper grease). Stainless bolts can pretty much weld themselves into mild steel and you won't have a hope in hell of getting it undone!

I had this yesterday when attempting to swap an Autofive kit back to a standard one. The drivers side was a pain but came off, whilst the passenger side was proper welded in. Drilled the bugger out the disc and didn't bother attempting the hub so theres not one on at the min LOL.

I had to hack mine out a few years back and never put new ones in. Thought the wheel bolts would hold it in place sufficiently, only when taking the wheel off is a bit annoying linig the holes back up again but nothing to be upset about.

 

Nothing wrong with not having any surely?

I've had a few without them with no problem, I think they are there just to hold the disc in place while you are putting the wheel on, which then clamps it tight. I'm re-building the whole front end so thought it would be nice to put them in!
