Hardware (Found @ Ace Hardware):
-2 X 8-32 x 1/2” Button Head
-1 X 4-0.70mm x 20mm Cap Head
-1 X Spring OD: .228”, ID: .162” (#2 @ Ace)
-1 X 1/4” x 3/4” Roll Pin (or 1/4” x 1” Cut to 0.8”)

Use hardware to thread holes; use care when threading 8-32 holes (a tap can make things easier for horizontally printed holes). Cut spring down to 1/2” long and install on M4 cap head bolt (pictured). QD socket can be a little stiff at first. To loosen up, insert QD swivel into socked and rotate around a few times.
