Only use medium or low strength thread lock. If you go for High you may never get the bolts out again without heating...

Most importantly, gradually tighten the bolts one after the other
e.g. Bolt 1 5 turns, bolt 2 5 turns etc until you get back to bolt 1 again. Repeat until they are all tight.
This prevents damaging the new disc.

ah ok, same as rocker cover bolts on a car, thanks

If it was me I would tighten the bolts up in a diagonal sequence i.e do the opposite bolt each time. That will spread the tightening torque over the whole circumference of the disk and help prevent warping. Only do a bit at a time on each bolt.

shoot me a pm if you want to borrow a torque wrench tonight - both over and under tightened have bad outcomes

have fitted this all now and was very simple and straight forward...until he allen key snapped and stabbed me through the finger, ouch, am now getting 'black' transfer from my pads onto my disc, any ideas why? They are CC EBC pads

Brake dust? Some pads are messier than others.
The green stuff I used to have fitted to my car were dirty little buggers
