Claims5
A mechanism for mounting a brake disc on a rotatable member by mounting bolt assemblies, wherein the member has a plurality of threaded bores for receiving mounting bolts and the disc has a plurality of mating holes for receiving the mounting bolts, characterized in that the disc mounting holes are radially elongated to permit radial movement of the brake disc relative to the mounting bolts, that the bolt assemblies include spring means mounted on said bolts for tensioning the bolts and that a mounting ring is provided between the brake disc and the spring means to isolate the disc from the spring means and prevent transmittal of radial movement of the disc to the spring means and mounting bolts.
