I should probably ask this in the "Construction Tips" section... but what the heck.
For my aleph-x, time to get my hands dirty....
I'd like to mount the mosfets (IRFP044) to the heatsink with the allen screws (tapped), like many of you guys do. What is the correct diameter size of the screws to do this? M2.5, M3, M5?

I always use M3 with a large washer or a strip of 20mm wide x 2mm thick aluminium.
OK thx. Since you live in UK, do you know a good source of screws? I used to buy online at Stagonset.co.uk (cheap), but the site is not accessible anymore.
Welcome to Modelfixings
Site is a bit old (to say the least) but I have used them for at least the last five years and never had any issues.

I have always used brass pozidrive screws from Farnell.

The devices are designed to take M3 screws.
As you used to buy from Stagonset I guess you wanted stainless? I recommend here for stainless now
Stig's Stainless Fasteners
I also use Modelfixings for threaded inserts and other stuff, always good service.
