Are too much big, first I will try using the chassis like heatsink, another question about dummy load 10 or 15k 20W wich will value the right value of both are OK?


If insulation pad on Mosfet's back fails by heat one time in the future, having the box as a sink its either spectacular HV short to ground when with a grounded box, or DC electrocution hazard for anybody touching the box if ground is not present or faulty. This is high voltage. Don't take it lightly. A 22K 10W will be good for dummy in your case.

Set each stage reg for 30mA.

Will be enough this heatsink for IRF9610 & IRF840?

Digi-Key - HS276-ND (Manufacturer - 529802B00000)

It's necessary heatsink for MJE350?

Use double the height this kind. MJE needs not.

You can use the linked ones for the 9610, but the 840 will be dissipating about 5-6W. Those you linked say they rise 40C over ambient for 8W. So get next bigger size or next higher spec different type.
