Dear Mark, The grubscrews to which you refer are on the straddle wire carrier, <https://www.tektro.com/upload/Product/F_20150915085438BhVJtz.PDF> and are only used to locate the straddle cable carrier on the straddle cable. They are not directly in the load path. I've never used them. I pull mine and keep them in a jar of m4 grub screws, which are used on my fender mounts, as they are unnecessary to the function of the brake or of the straddle carrier. the brakes center just fine.
