    Hello,

    I have had an ST8300M since around 2012. Over last few years, the rubber bushings of well nuts that hold the fan to the heatsink have corroded away. After pulling one out, I realized that they were glued to a screw that likely holds the heat sink down. I could not find a replacement at my local HW store. Any idea on how I can get replacement well nuts?

    Regards
    Hemant

    Doug,

    Great! Thanks a lot! Exactly what I was looking for. I have placed the order. What kind of glue do you use on these?

    Regards

    We don't glue anything; they come like that.

    Doug,

    Okay. In that case, I presume that they have a nut for the fan and a screw that goes into the heatsink. Guess I will wait for it to figure it out.

    Thanks a lot again.

    Regards

    They look roughly like this:

    There will be a screw mounting the fan onto the isolation mount.

    I checked and they haven't shipped yet... turns out we're a little short handed with the flu that's going around. They will be mailed so it will take a few days.
