Just for academic interest I'm going to clean a bit more and play around to see what's the best possible. You were so right about the importance of the cleaning before fitting. Very helpful.

I always clean the hub with a cup brush in the angle grinder, followed by a dose of brake cleaner, then clock the hub to check for runout.
Then on with the disc, bolt up with wheelnuts fitted with spacers and clock the runout once more.
I find you need to be careful with these, as pulling up the disc with a single screw can lead to inaccurate readings.
