Brake disc retaining screw size

[mjhamilton]

So whilst removing my wheels to clean my arches I found that some sloppy spanner monkey didn't bother to put the brake disc retaining screws back in so it makes it a little fiddly to refit the wheels as the discs can rotate on the hub and cover the bolt holes..

Just wanted to see if anyone knows the corrected sized screw for here - my gut tells me stainless steel m6 (6mm) x 16mm countersunk bolts with hex heads will be perfect but sometimes it is wrong....

Anyone confirm?


Thanks in advance

Regardless of PR code for brakes M6x16 is remark with P/N: N 106 483 01 , description is hex socket countersunk bolt ...

If you can find Torx drive C'sk screws they will not round out like hex drive screws.
