Jabo,

The power supply is installed with the block "hanging" from the circuit board. I'm trying to keep the weight off the regulator pins and on the screws.

If I see that the board is bowing, I will put some "feet" on the main block to the casing to support it.

JFetting,

I'm not running passages into the "fingers". The main block is a single loop passage and is already milled and sealed.

It will be very difficult at this point to solder anything else to the main block and expect it to be water tight. As it is, I had originally planned to solder them to the block with two 4-40 cap screws holding them in place. This way I can keep the rest of the block from de-soldering by submerging the tube side in water.
