First Watt F4 Mockup Question
Giant 15lb heatsink would be cut in half at machine shop to make two.
Any reason I shouldn't cut these boards and do this???
DIY F4 board is too wide for my heatsink. Cut off ends to fit.
Place ends under main board and jumper together with just 4 short leads.
End result would look like this (wrong transistors shown)

Cardboard represents "1/4" Aluminum faceplate 12" x 5 7/8" (top portion of heatsink will be cut off). The total amplfier width is 17 1/2" so rack ears could be fitted. Should look great with the short fins on front and rear!
Inside area view. I'm not sure if I'll go capacitor board or screw top cans. Leaning towards screw tops. Also, one 500VA trans or two 250VA transformers?
Very large 3" heatsink "uniqe double sided"
Another view (note: double sided heatsink).
What say you?
