    Is the heatsink removable? If so, making a complete replacement wouldn't be hard at all. It seems like it is way taller than it needs to be too. I'm sure a smaller more efficient heatsink can be machined easily. I don't have one of these, but should be getting a build going at the end of summer.

        I tried to remove one off a 120 and wasn't successful, I felt like it would get damaged before I could remove it.

            Well I snapped all 4 screws and decided not to try and break the epoxy so leaving as is. When you now look at it there's different approaches you can take for the outlets to be in different locations to meet different installs. And a simple drill and tap process. One tip the 1/4 28 set screws don't tap too deep to allow the set screws to snug up mine are on the loose side but tread in nicely and sealed with Teflon with zero leaks.

                    I figured that much. But I like to tinker.
