Definitely not a good idea to get graphite on the friction material but I think it might be good where the pads touch the calliper, as you say Darkness it's a good lubricant and this paste does polish off so that none could drop off and cause trouble.
The aim IS to make it stop Darren. I acquired a very nice 12" disc from RGM (The standard is a solid cast iron 10" jobbie) It has a fully floating cast iron rotor on an ally carrier that replicates the shape of the original disc quite faithfully.
I made a new bracket from 18mm billet after a few MDF patterns. The billet was all machined using woodwork tools. Rebated to get the offset on a radial pull saw, outline cut with a bandsaw and holes drilled with a chuck in my bench mortiser. The very fine tuning of the offset to get the calliper sitting perfectly on the disc, was done with a hand held router.
A little bit of a buff and some Titanium bolts to finish it off..
Hubs are now polished ready for new rims and spokes.. Will post some pics when they are done..
