Another silly idea come to me mind, does anyone know how well zinc xfers heat? I ask cuz looking at your original Alum. heatsinks on the voltage regs I am wondering why not use Alum. tubing on the orginal heatsinks by using an "aluminum solder" such as Alumite or similar brand (98%zinc/2% Alum soldering rods). Theres a guy on e-bay sells small packs of the stuff for like $5-10(US). I have ordered some before and the stuff works great, I just don't know how well it xfers heat.
