Here you go all checked..i think 🙂

Some minor changes as well with placing of thermistors.

This layout can easily me stretched both ways to optimize for your case size and distribute heat dissipation...but don't go to close to the edges!,
as is its 36mm x 221mm

Going to keep working on the rectangular lateral transistors version....just fold both ends of this one down...!.

Of course one might argue that the advantage of central input ( and hence only one PCB design times 2 ) is outweighed by the fact that input is not as far away from Trafo as possible....something to consider.

If the design was to mimic NP layout...input at the very end we would need left and right PCBs.

From my experience with PD pcbs F5 is dead silent and this is really a non-issue here.

Course is fine just a bit shorther tracks could shift R11 a bit like you did for R12
and R12 to other side of thermistor let you pick up voltagge from the mosfet is bolted 2.

But I am just being fussy get yourself a well deserwed pint
etch one proto and sleep over it

OK, How's this

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
 
I think I'll trim off the waste board on each size. Should make manufacture a little cheaper. Even with the thickness of the tracks as they are I think I might go for 2oz board. Do you think 1.6mm board is thick enough or shall I go for 2mm?
 
Be sure and ask for Papa's blessing, silk screen diy clone pass design on board, plus we don't mind if you make money. this is a hobby not a profession . Mr Pass(AKA Papa) is very generous with his Ideas and help. We would like to keep it that way.

No no.
You're right, this is a hobby.
If I do make a batch (only with NP's blessing of course) then I will sell at my cost plus a couple of dollars per set as a donation to the forum.

I have already put attribution on the silk screen.
