Well, as per above I managed to mess it up. I have tried drilling, but would be grateful for some numpy advice on how this is done. My good SDS drill does not have bits small enough, but I am sure I can get them online.
This was all driven by my desire to get rid of the annoying rotor squeal on the rear of my hard tail. I have changed the brakes, but retained The old 160 mm disc. I made sure it was clean with disc brake cleaner before remounting the new disc brakes and wheel, to a coif contamination.
Sequels like a banshee and sometimes vibrates prior to getting. A squeal on.
I have a spare 180 and spare 160 disc, so could just try a larger diameter on the rear.
