2. there were no springs that i could use for it...

I found the perfect bolts, nuts, plastic washers, and springs at a small local hardware store. (of course it took an hour of searching through the bins to find the exact sizes I needed)
and the bolts that worked were the ones that come with the little butterfly drywall mounting things.

I looked at my HD couldnt find springs.. i would have to cut the bolts down.. anyone know wher ei can get some onlien then plzzzz?!?

The proper screw size is #6-32 which are hard to find any longer than two inches.
I phoned around to industrial fasteners stores in my area and found some 3 inch ones that work for me.
I had to cut my springs in half because I had a hard time finding some the right length. Used a pair of wire snips.

Well over here all they had were 4 inch ones .....

Btw

As a side note: When you find the right ones use this guide for your springs. Kudos to NeoMoses for this one.

When you find the right bolts and nuts for your rig. The link is for the springs. There is a certain pressure you'll need for the springs if you want to stay within AMD specs. Your title read: "Bolts, nuts and springs". I just thought I'd put my $.02 on the springs.

Wow, kudos to NeoMoses, that is a really good guide to mounting. I never saw it before, but I will definatley use it when I am mounting my D-tek WW when it arrives.
