Front brake disc

I was checking my front brake pads this morning when I noticed there was quite a bit of sideways play on the disc.
It would seem that the five rivet bits (circled in red) are loose and the one with the arrow next to it has the split washer missing all together.

Is it repairable? or do I need to raid the piggy bank for a new disc?

Hi

It is a floating disk and is meant to have some sideways movement.

The missing washer locating that bobbin is more worrying.

All the best

Compared to the other front disc there is alot of sideways movement (around 1/4 inch each way)
Is it possible to replace the washer and tighten the bobbins to reduce the sideways movement?

Well upon removing the disc from the bike I found two missing washers and three futher broken washers. Crying or Very sad

However the disc is still considerably thicker than the 4mm limit so I decided to replace the bobbins.
If anyone ever wants bobbins; Trade Direct at Sheffield (Thanks Kickstart), worked out at £25 to replace the bobbins. Thumbs Up

Only took an hour with an angle grinder and three hacksaw blades to chop out the old ones.

So disc fixed, new pads to fit and sunny weather. Pefect. Thumbs Up
