The top is made from acrylic but was cracking around the holes so a new one was made out of polycarbonate, i also replaced the countersunk bolts with normal bolts and washers. I used green gasket sealant (car gasket sealant) between the polycarbonate top and copper base.I made a backplate to help support the weight of the waterblock, made from 6mm plastic cut to size and drilled then M3 tapped for the bolts.
