Front Brake Disc Retaining Bolts?

Hey all, I talked about this in my main car thread but wanted to ask see if anyone knew over here too.

Taking my wheels off on Saturday I noticed my brake discs weren't screwed onto the hub. Obviously its held by the wheel when fitted but there are threaded holes that look as though they should help alignment - I noticed the brakes were rubbing on and off when rotating the wheel with it up in the air and after I refitted it more carefully, one bolt at a time (unlike the tyre place who probably did them up last) it was much more even.

I had my front discs and pads changed earlier this year at my Uncles garage and was there while he did them, I would have noticed if there were bolts left over so I'm guessing they were left off at some point before I owned the car. Bit annoying if this is the case.

Anyone know where I can get some of the exact retaining bolts/screws meant to be in there? No idea if they're hex or torx etc etc, if anyone can tell me the size etc if they have had to fit them before... if not I'll give Lexus a ring and see if they have any.

A bit naughty the garage leaving them off, wouldn't go there again!

They are normally stainless steel so never rust and should last the lifetime of the car.

The shims come as a complete axle set from Lexus, part number should be 04945-30120.

The price.... around £60.00 !
