sup guys? well i was at home depot for a butt long time looking for some long screws i can use to mount my heatercore from dtek...does anyone know what size i would need to fit the screw between the heatercore fins...?
 
4-40 barly fits in my dtek heatercore..
i found some of those sizes for about 1.5" long, which i used for waterblock mounting, i don't know if there are longer ones..
 
Get one of those long 1/8" diameter threaded rods and cut them down to an appropriate size and get some baggies of 1/8" nuts and some washers to go with it. Thats what I done.

You only need 2 bolts, you'll have some left over for other projects. You'll be pushing a few fins around in the core but it won't hurt anything if you do it right.
