Oddjob:
Unlike the front discs ones the rear sprocket ones are quite thick and heavy, they will withstand quite a lot of abuse before requiring changing.

I don’t recall there being any on the front disc when I removed it!
Oddjob:
There are supposed to be 3 on each disc, they are paired, so 2 nuts on each locking bar, shaped like a bone in essence. Same principle, you lock the retaining disc nut in place so there is no chance of one of the disc bolts coming loose or worse falling out and catching the fork slider, which wouldn't be good ::) ::)

I just checked the shop manual; looks like these were not fitted to the ‘76 K2 which is what I have so I should be good without?

Was thinking of the thinner front disc ones Ken. My mistook.
