Cheers for the link but I already read the thread. Searched through tons of stuff on these forums. I thought spring loading might be the best way to go to get repeatable mounting. I just thought I would post this idea and see if anyone could find a problem with it. Instead of going through all the hassle of constructing it and finding that it does not work

No prob, glad to know you saw it. It was the only way I could think of to easily ensure a consistent, repeatable force on the cooling joint. Seems to me like there are to many variations in mounting methods and block shapes / dimensions to easily do a simple, consistent method of bolting the block down from the top onto a fixed die. The only constant that I can see is the cooling surface itself. By indexing that surface to a fixed location and bringing an unchanging movable die against it, then it should be easier to get consistency.
Of course, I haven't tried building such a contraption (nor am I likely to since testing is mostly just a theoretical interest to me at this time), so there may be a 'gotcha' that I haven't seen in my proposal.
