Default need new rotor screws

Long story short- went to change front rotors on my 90 LS, the 2 screws holding the rotor on are completely stripped, can't drill them out til i get new ones, cant find new ones anywhere online.

i went to the local deal and they only had 2. i bought the 2 but i need more in case i need to do the same with the rest of the rotors.

Anyone know where i can find these online?

Here's a picture to clarify which ones i need in case you don't know.

another dealer

they SHOULD be cross referenced with a toyota part so i'd try taking one of the ones you brought to your local toyota dealership and seeing if they have any.

went to the toyota dealer first, said they can't find it bc the part numbers arent the same.
also, they said they said toyotas dont screw the rotor to the hub so the wouldn't have it.

try taking one of the screws you have to a local hardware store, they should have one.

Ace hardware normally has damn near every screw/bolt i've ever needed.

The bolts aren't exactly structural (i.e. the wheel nut studs are what transfer the braking force) so some stainless steel countersunk allen bolts would probably do fine.

The bolts are used to keep the rotor in place when braking .This keeps pressure off the bolts/studs and keeping all torque on the hub instead.
You can drive without them until you get new ones.
