Only thing I would add is a smear of copper grease to the wheel/disc contact faces and round the hub flange to minimise the likelyhood of the alloy wheels corroding themselves onto the disc/hub assembly and becoming very difficult to remove in the future, not something you want to discover on a cold dark night in the rain!

Yes, thanks for pointing this out as I should have mentioned it. You’ll see in my first photo of 28 December that the old discs had a good covering of the relevant surface. I tend to apply it to the inside of the alloy wheel though, to avoid accidentally getting it on the friction surface of the discs.
