Hello,
Even when a rotor is mounted on a plate, the bolts can and
do fall out. One of the best ways to prevent this is to safety
wire the bolt heads using SS wire. For some pictures see:

Lots of safety wire information is available one-line. Google "safety wire
bolt heads". One can drill bolt heads using a drill press and cobalt bits if
commercially drilled ones are not available. An excellent fastener
resource is
Carroll Smith's Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook. See.
