mine is getting pretty beat up. it's been slotted with a dremel and i want to replace it one of these days.

My PET doesn't give a part number - says it's part of the rotor. But, when you buy a new rotor - you dont get the screw.

Will the dealer have just the screw or does anyone have one thet want to sell?

Parts car but you could just leave it off, it isnt going anywhere.

Call up your favorite parts vendor and ask. I believe the P/N is N 033 167 1 and recently got a bunch.

I got mine at home depot - set of six for like $1.00.

i'm liking the home depot and napa thing, but what size screw am I looking for? I cant bring the old one with me.

I happened to be at Home Despot last night and had to check. There they were in the "Metric Machine Screw" drawer. I don't recall the size or length, but for a couple of bucks get an assortment. (6M, 7M, 8M) The correct ones are 95 cents from Pelican, for reference.

One thing to consider is that the Porsche pieces are coated to prevent corrosion and the ones I saw were not. We need thos because the old ones get stuck to the rust-prone carbon steel rotors and into the hubs. I suspect if the screws are removed every year and put back with a touch of antiseize there will not be a problem. At the other end, after three years without antiseize I'd expect to be doing the drill and tap again.

Also, the screws really perform no function once the wheels are on. They are nice when doing brake work, like swapping pads, as the rotor isn't moving around.

An Allen head version would help center the drill...

i think it's an M6 screw, about 10-12mm in length. i had a couple allen-head bolts that i used instead, simply had to dremel the tops off to make them flush with the rotor hat.
