Need some Fan Mounts

So I recently bought a dual pack of SP120's and when I got them, they didn't have any mounts for me (i dont know exactly what they're called but they're the things you use to connect them to your case), I emailed them back and said that I could keep them but they'd give me a full refund..... so where on earth can I buy the parts I need? I have a Fractal Design Define R4 case if that helps?

 

Thanks!

So you got those SP120's for free? Or did you mean something else?

 

And are you talking about the rubber pieces that you would use instead of screws? I didn't think SP120's came with those.

 

Or do you mean screws? Lol.

Yes I basically got them for free haha :P because they were missing the piece that you put through the holes of the fans to connect them to your case

Haha corsair fans don't even come with them anyway, did they come with screws? Because if they did you just landed yourself some free fans.

yes they will work, they are only pieces of rubber, if you still are uncertain just get some screws, you can't go wrong with screws.

Is there meant to be a thread though for screws to work?

no, fans use self-tapping screws which means they make their own thread as they go in.

Ah ok :) do the screws go from the outside of the case to the inside or the other way around?

It depends how you mount them, i'm sure you'll be able to work it out though.

You sure? They are in a separate compartment in the box, hidden away and usually taped so they don't move.

Yep, there wasnt a box, also was the resister meant to be in that box? Because if it was It was just loose in the box..... lol
