Default Rotor screws on 95 honda civic

Hey I need to know the exact size and dimension of the screws that screw threw the rotor to the wheel hub. I need to tell the guy at the machine shop at my dads work he is doing some repairs on it. He says it could be a 6mm, but should I give him the thread pattern and all that aswell? Let me know guys, thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it. The screws are there to hold the rotor on during assembly, before the wheels are bolted up. Once the wheels are on they serve no purpose.

I get a weird vibration in the wheel though. I think it serves some sort of purpose.

Nope, no purpose at all. Your vibration could be caused by numerous other things. Warped rotors, cupped tires, out of balance wheels/tires, something loose (wheel, suspension component).

The screws are pointless, you have another problem.

A wheel bearing shouldn't cause a vibration. I'd rebalance the tires first, I'm sure they could use it. Then you can check the rotors. Thickness variation (use a micrometer) and run out (dial indicator mounted to the spindle or control arm) can and will cause a pulsation/vibration.
