I seem to have lost a package of “M3 screws, nuts and washers” for Step C8 on page 36 of the PLTW instructions.
Is it possible to give me the URL of the exact page for this part (the screw) on the website of any major hardware chain or Amazon?
I am in a major hurry because this is a Fall Semester project, and I am still trying to get the arm built.
Thanks,
Mark

Note that if you have screws and nuts which fit through the holes in the frame and of the servo, you can likely use them as well.
The length of the screw simply needs to protrude from the bracket and have enough thread to hold the nut in place.
The diameter of the screw should be large enough so it’s not loose. The washer is there since the head of the screw is not too large.
We’re at your service if you have any additional questions / comments.
Where do YOU get them, and how are they identified THERE? I’m looking for a store I can go to TODAY.

It’s a custom kit which is kitted by us, specific to Lynxmotion. You can see if your local hardware store carries:
M3 screws and M3 nuts, with a washer that fits. If not, test hardware that they do carry to see if you can find something compatible.
Worst case scenario, see if you can find another way to fix the servo to the bracket.
