I use the autoatlanta site but it gives me trouble sometimes.

That's the part number I used when I did brakes on my '99 a few years ago.

If it makes you feel better, one of my corners was running with 1 screw for 9 track sessions...

No need to get them from the dealer, all Euro cars use the same screws.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I had a wheel off today, and noticed that one of the two screws that holds the brake rotor assembly on is AWOL. Is that a universal item?
I'm guessing this is the part but help appreciated.
Set screw

They r listed on the autoatlanta PET parts diagrams. I would suggest u get familure with their site as its a great resourse.
That being said thet r not needed but nice to have.
I literally just picked up 8 of these from Porsche... I just told my guy what I needed and never got the PN, and of course I threw the bag and invoice away. If it makes you feel better, one of my corners was running with 1 screw for 9 track sessions... so, as my boy above says, prob not going to cause you a major issue.
That's the part number I used when I did brakes on my '99 a few years ago. Speaking of which, I saved the old screws which seem in really good shape. I'd be happy to throw a couple in an envelope for you.
Your organization and recall is remarkable with this stuff.
In my case, I'm wondering if I use a generic equivalent, will my wheels fly off in all directions?
You absolutely won't have any issue. If you think about it it would be mad scary if one or two little Phillips heads where all that held your rotor on. Old school floating rotors didn't even have these. They were added to make assembly easier. Both your caliper and your wheel (lugs) hold the rotor on. The screws simply hold it in place while you bolt up the caliper, which is more necessary with lug bolts vs lug studs.
I hope not u should have 5 lug bolts holding it all together. The scews r only for factory assembly line....and it holds the rotor square when installing the caliper. Like i said before its a convienence and not neccessary.
No need to get them from the dealer, all Euro cars use the same screws. Jason had one from a VW on his Porsche for the last few weeks. It's just an M6 flat head screw.
That is so kind of you, but no need I will save you the stamp. I picked some up at the autoparts store,they looked up via my VIN and had em in stock.

I use the autoatlanta site but it gives me trouble sometimes. So, I've been using, and purchasing a few things, from DCAuto -
https://www.dcauto.com/models/8?year=2001
. They are actually in NC. I also try to buy from
https://www.germanautosupply.com/
they are also 'local'. I guess Atlanta can be considered as well. I try to stay east coast when possible for sure. Pelican is a great shop but shipping and the environment, y'know. Gotta leave something for the little ones. He says, revving his 200 cell cats...:P
Anyway, I wasn't so much asking for the part number, I was asking if it was something I could easily get and interchangeable with other makes, and it turns out, yes on both counts.
