How do I make a duplicate of a component?

[Jaydee99]

Please read.
I'm leaving BFE alone for now, as I need to know this.
As Alphasim did, I'd like to create duplicates of components but do the following with the component:
-Give it a reskin (which I know how to do)
-Give it a new name
-If it's a motor, give it a new value (which I'm familiar with)
-If it's a weapon, change its damage capability and hitpoints
-Give it a new slot in the components section in the bot lab

For Example, Alphasim took the Beta Spring Loaded Motor and turned it into a separate component with a separate slot and burst capacity and speed, but kept it the same shape. As shown here (forget about the ironforge skin glitch):

So, how do I do it?
Please help, Jaydee99

Also, how would I make a copy of a component but keeping the name and give it another slot? If you understand.

 Please give me some useful advice, Jaydee99
