    Does anyone on here know where I can get some of the same screws that are used to make Transformers. My local hardware store doesn't go that far in the small end. Help would be much appreciated!

    Maybe either doll house supplies from places like Hobby Lobby or Michael's, or a model railroaders shop.

    Depending on the size of springs you need, you should be able to cut pen springs to size
