wait a minute,
instead of buying a linyun and doing this mod, why not just buy a lunhui?

Easy, cheap alternative to Dayan Anchor Pieces

maybe we're broke or don't want a new cube. you seem to be missing the point. this is an alternative solution to taking anchors from a lunhui and putting them in older cubes.

I want to get the screws from a hardware store. What size would be good? What an awesome idea btw.

not too sure about size. why don't you bring an edge and a corner with you and see if you can gauge it out.

That's what I ended up doing.
I used 6-32 x 1/2 inch Phillips round head machine screws.
You could go for a slightly larger head and go up to 1 inch for the screw. I didn't want my GuHong to be obese, so I cut down on the length.
Truss head screws are the best, though, if you can find them.

For those who need to know what "truss head" is, there is a pic of various heads here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw#Screw_head_shapes
Questions:
I thought it would be 'button' or 'round' head since it needs to catch onto the centre(?).
Would a shorter (than 1/2 inch) still work (trying to minimise weight increase)?
Edit: thinking of trying it on my lingyun...

Because they are not the same. I have all the Dayan cubes (so far) and Ling Yun is by FAR my fav. Mine doesn't pop enough to warrant drilling a hole. I was hoping the mod didn't require modding the edges. If it becomes a problem I'll try this.

same here - lingyun is my fav. I thought of using glue instead of drilling to hold the screws in place. But the diameter of the screws would have to match the edge T-part...

Is it worth doing this mod on a zhanchi
(My zhanchi sucks with torpedoes in it)

Prob not. Why does it suck?

No, because mine is awesome with them. Take it apart, set the tensions at about penny width, lube the core, and then wipe all the lube off the pieces.
