That what it takes to drill properly aligned 4 holes.

The work on a CD transport continues.

Some people were complaining about countless screws they had to put in when building their amps.

Today I decided to use some of my aircraft tools and try riveting.
Clecos were used to hold the parts together while drilling. After holes were open with size 40 drill bit and then size 30, I countersunk the holes for flush head rivets with piloted countersink.

After deburring the holes I used a squeeze gun to install the rivets. It was actually the first time that I tried that technique at home, but I must say that I like the results and I will do it more often

For anybody interested in obtaining some of the tools I used here, http://www.yardstore.com/ offers good selection and prices on used aircraft tools an accessories.

I hate to be a threadjacker, but this is in the same genre...

I'm in the process of making an amp based around ESP P88 preamp and 2 ESP P3A amp boards (passive bi-amp - I would go active but I don't want to kill my lovely B&W 603-S3's).

Anyway the question I had was where to find good heatsinks and cases (pre-made - I don't have time to make) for the amp in the UK?

The sinks need to be about 1deg C/Watt

Also any ideas about cases with heatsinks available in the UK - I was thinking of buying a Maplin (UK electronics distributor) rackmount case and using heatsinks internally, but if anyone can suggest a good distibutor of cases with combined sinks in the UK that would be great.

Also I don't want to spend the earth (I am a student).

There is a company (can't remember who) that makes plane kits!

That has to be the ultimate DIY feat!

The kits are like the ones you may have made as a child - you get a series of flat packs of plywood and literaly just glue them together and source and engine!

Crazy huh
