Look in the thread with the video, you can easily see the field elements.

go here

http://www.mcmaster.com/

and type in the part number in the search box

Note:
I bought all my stuff at Home Depot. They didn't have a plastic nipple, so I used steel.

I think I have all the parts now.I found them at a small harware store.
@copralchee: Yah they definetly could have made them easier to read.
I don't think the field drawing even say what the dimensions are for the whole
course.
