got some new brembo rotors, appears that it didn't come with the two philips head screws that help you hold the rotor to the hub while installing the wheel

now i'm sure i could go to bunnings and pick some up, i'm just unsure of the specs of the screws

can anyone shed some light on what spec screws can be used?

Go to repco and get them. Ask for them at the counter.

Screws are cheap anyway. If you have screws on your old rotors, go to supercheap and buy a $15-20 impact screwdriver.

If you don't have an impact screwdriver you drill them out. The screws are not that good quality so you only need to drill off the head and then you will be able to turn the rest of the screw with a sharp object. You will notice if you get to the rotor as its hard to drill and not like the screw

The screw bits cost me 50c from the local hardware store. That's what happened to me when i changed my rotors
