Tracking down Zalman's 1156 mounting brackets

I own a Zalman CNPS 9700 that I'm planning to use for my new i5 socket 1156 build. Unfortunately it looks like I need to buy either the ZM-CS5B or ZM-CS5A to mount it on my new motherboard which has only 1156 mounting holes.

After googling away for the past few days I can't seem to find these parts available anywhere in the United States. Zalman never wrote me back about availability and newegg just replied with a generic form letter.

I'm sure I can't be the only one looking for these parts, has anyone had any luck tracking these down or getting info from a store on availability?
 
For anyone else looking, I just got this e-mail from Zalman USA:

The mounting kits should be available at newegg.com in about a month. Thank you.

Guess I'll be running stock cooling for a little while.
 
Zalman hooked my up with a AM2+ mounting clip for free when I asked them. I just told them I was transfering my cooler from a 939 setup to my new 940 and that my cooler never came with the proper hardware (truth).
 
ZM-CS5B is now available at Fry's:

ZM-CS5A is still nowhere to be seen on US soil that I could find anyway...

I keep wondering if I should waste the $10 to try to cool my incoming i5 750 with a CNPS-9700LED... I've seen mixed reviews about it on newegg, and I've been using it for like 2 years now, so it's a bit dusty too - and I don't feel like giving it the alcohol treatment.

I'm looking to OC at least to 3.6, hopefully to 4.0... so there's going to be plenty to cool.

hmmmmm...
