Just got my 2 rads delivered, both Phobya G Changers, one 240 and one 280
For some reason the number of screws supplied with each is vastly different, heres a pic

The one on the left is the 240, obv and has one pack containing 8 long screws (M3 I presume) 4 small screws and one slightly larger small screw, sorry I dont know any screw names.
Where as on the right, the 280 came with 4 packs, 2 containing 4 allen key head long screws, one containing 8 m3s and 8 of the small screws as above and one containing 8 m3s and one of the slightly bigger small screws. If that makes sense

Now the site I got them from (OcUK don't stock these, or any 280 rads in fact) lists the contents as:

240 -
1 x Phobya G-Changer 240 V1.2
8 x M3 Screws
2 x 120mm Fan Dampeners
2 x 1/4" Thread Blanking Plugs

280-
1 x G Changer 280
8 x M3 Fan Mounting Screws
2 x Decoupler
2 x Black Blanking Plugs

The manufacturers page doesn't seem to list anything, so it seems I have extra screws in the 280, least I'm not missing any from the 240, but anyone any idea why? Or what these are used for?
 
Ive managed to get a reasonable pic of them close up (only got iPhone camera sorry)

From left to right, the long allen head screw, long screw I presume to be m3, small screw, slightly bigger small screw, has a black washer on it actually too

Anyone able to help me out with these??? Please
 
The (8) long screws attach a fan to the rad
Or case/fan/rad
Or Grill/case/fan/rad

The (3) short screws, attach the rad to the case
or Grill/case/rad (if your lucky)

The small one with the washer is a bleed screw - there should be a threaded hole on one end of the rad.
The old PA120.x had this, very helpfull if you can get at it when filling/draining a loop.
Make sure you have this tight - you don't want any leaks

The black nickel Alan heads are bonus screws with the 280.
So you can mound fans on both sides of the rad (and look nice on the outside of the case)

OK thanks, so for mounting both rads with push/pull fans I'm gonna need some more (8) m3s for the 240 then?

To summarise I got 8 m3s & 4 smalls with 240, and 16 m3s & 8 smalls with 280, ignoring the others for now, will I alsio need another 4 small ones for push/pull on the 240?
