Default Brake disk securing screws ?...please help..

Hello guys, just ordered and had delivered new brakes for the front on my gc8 1999, now there is no replacment disk securing screws, or on the car right now there is none!! Is there meant too be?!... This is the little screws that hold the disk to the hub, I presumed there should be?.. Iv not had this car long and bought new ones and really thought there would be new ones... Do they not have them?...

Would be greatfull If someone could help . If I do need them what's the size?.. I will get today

Thanks in advance

Mark

I know the newages don't have any screws, quite alot of cars don't have them nowadays.

They don't have screws holding them, the calipers and discs hold them and when wheel is bolted that secures in place.
The holes that are there are for if they are stuck on with rust and dirt you just put screws in to free discs from hubs when stuck

the general reason cars have disc "retaining" screws is for the likes of FWD applications where they use a wheel bolt and hence it assists with lining the wheel up correctly........

the Subaru has studs fitted in the hub hence the disc is "located" at all times and no issue
