X-clamp Replacement Materials
« on: June 18, 2007, 01:35:00 PM »
Okay, heres the deal. I want to buy a 3rlod xbox 360 off ebay so I can have an unbanned xbox. Now, I tried to look for the parts online but it doesnt look like lowes has any of those parts for online sale. I think I might buy the wrong materials for the job, so I  want to know if someone who has done this mod before can buy the materials for me and I can send them the money for it. I am even willing to pay and extra $5 for your gas moeny (gas is a bitch nowadays). Thanks to whoever can help me out.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If you can go to a smaller hardware store, where the employees actually know something. Just take in the part list. when they see Mxx for the machine bolt they will take you right to it. same with the washers. The washers should not be much bigger then the head of the bolt. make sure not to tighten to the board until you have over heated the console...

there are no small time hardware stores around me. To tell the truth, I dont even know where the closest Lowe's is. I do live close to like 3-5 Home Depots, so I could go there and buy the parts. But its just that I dont know what the part numbers are for Home Depot.

find someone and ask you to get M5-.80x10 machine screws (8)  #10 flat washers-nylon (16) and 5mm flat washers-metal (16). you will also need arctic silver.
