"nuts and bolts" in Russian?

[Alina Israeli]

>Is there a Russian equivalent for "nuts and bolts" as in "Getting down to
>nuts and bolts" or a "nuts-and-bolts" issue?

I don't think so. Russians are always looking for "sermjazhnaja pravda" and
want to know "gde sobaka zaryta". In addition to the industrial nuts and
bolts, you would not find "where the rubber meets the road".
