Thanks.

(I hate to re-open this, but I can answer with what I did)
If you can accept my originally posted method for mounting the dial indicator base, look at the picture and you'll see a small spring clamp, one leg shoved slightly into one of the cooling spaces, holding the brake disk/rotor to the backing plate.
Even if you don't accept my mounting method (on the disk/rotor instead of the hub itself), the clamp should still work since the pressure to overcome the tiny spring would be negligible and, IMO, wouldn't affect the reading.

Sorry, I don't follow. The disk/rotor part of the assembly can be detached from the hub, but only when off the spindle. Did you mean "caliper" should be off?
