just noticed in the photo of brackets being chopped off with grinder, there seems to be a battery under the back of trike. sparks + battery = BANG!!!!!.... suggest you move it right out of the way.

6mm seemed ok but the disc wouldn,t run true, after a lot of head scratching tightening of nuts slacking off of same ,the answer smacked me in the face ,we only had 2 studs in to hold the disc in place so popped in a couple more and hey presto running true
