ATI hanging kit dilemma.

If anyone with an ATI powermodule can tell me how they attached the hanging kit to the ceiling studs I would be most appreciated. I know that the metric 6m screws will fit the hanging kit but I cannot find any store around me or anyone online that sells these screws or an m6 hanging bolt individually. If you used another method to attach the hanging kit please tell me as I really do not want to buy a whole box of these hanging bolts.

I used a drywall expansion anchor rated at 150 lbs. The bolt that went in it was small enough to go through the hole in the top part of the hanging kit from ATI. I have the 10 x 54 w and it has been holding it fine. I didn't even go into a stud. I wanted it to hang straight and over the tank. Even my wife likes the install you can not see an y hole or hardware except the ATI hanging kit.

Oh that's much simpler then what I was trying to do. I’ll see if I have any wood screws that fit through that hole and put it right in the stud. Thanks.
