Mounting bracket alternative to push pins

There was an aftermarket mounting bracket for Intel stock HSF on the 775 CPU that allowed me to get rid of the push-pins. Does anyone know of one for the 1156 CPU so that I don't have to use the f@#$*!g push pins on my son's new build?
 
Get a bolt-thru kit like this one and use just the backplate and spring-loaded screws.

Alternately, figure out how to install the push pins properly. Hint: Much easier to install holding the motherboard in your hands and NOT with the motherboard mounted inside the case.
