In some examples, an insert assembly includes an insert, a rivet, and a washer configured to position on a brake disc. The insert is configured to position within a disc slot of the brake disc. The rivet shank is configured extend through a washer hole of the washer and a rivet slot of the insert to secure the insert to the brake disc. The washer is configured to be positioned between the insert and a rivet head of the rivet when the rivet shank extends into the brake disc. The rivet slot is configured to allow for the motion of the insert relative to the rivet in the tangential direction when torque is imparted through the disc slot via the insert. In some examples, the rivet is a solid rivet. In some examples, the rivet head is an orbitally riveted head fabricated using an orbital riveting tool.

Brake disc insert assembly

In some examples, a drive insert for a drive slot of a brake disc includes a first insert member configured to cover a first surface of the drive slot, a second insert member configured to cover a second surface of the drive slot, and a bridge member configured to extend between the first insert member and the second insert member. The bridge member is configured to limit movement of the first insert member and the second insert member in a tangential direction of the brake disc when the bridge member extends from the first insert member to the second insert member. In some examples, the bridge member is configured to be in compression between the first insert member and the second insert member.
