  Why couldn't you use a 1/4-20 threaded stud (or required size)
into the rotor, then a nut, then a lock washer, set it on the rotor
plate,
then another lock washer and a nut. The stud would be 'pinched'
to the rotor plate and it would be MUCH harder for it to work its
way out.

Just a thought.....
