That does look sweet, pretty much what I had in mind for with regards to the circular saw blade (you can buy better sized ones that are even thinner than 1mm for under £30, but this is in my hand!

). I would've used chrome allen bolts that look better than crosshead/phillips screws though...
WRT holes, I've heard of people drilling them out on certain Asus mobo's with no problems. If the solder goes right the way through/is on both sides, it should be fine. Make sure you use the right sized drill bit and centre the holes precisely though, so you don't cut into the PCBoard or/and traces...

Would you be interested in making a block simular to Hoot's(or 'cross cut' into pins) with your router if I can find a mount or another blade to mount in the Dremmel?. I can't find an outlet for flat copper bar stock near me though. How about you?...
PS, what size is the inner hole on those 1/2'
Y's?. I have some oversized ones (named 17mm, but closer to 13mm outer. The
barb/flanges are 17mm), but the centre narrows down to 10mm as it gets near the triple join. They could be safely drilled out to 11.5mm though. 12mm at a push. Would one of these be better than the 1/2' one/s you have?, if so I'll post you one

...
PPS, I would of used a 13mm inner Cu
T rather than a plastic one, unless you drilled it out?. They make them
so restrictive when the inner size 'funnels' down as it reaches the join
