Why not just order then from Conrad? Can't beat their prices for the quality. Took a while, but their shipping costs by Aussie Post was very reasonable.

Have you tried calling them? Just curious if they are on reduced staff or closed due to Covid-19.
No, have written to them a few times but got no answer. Maybe they don't exist anymore?
I should be able to squeeze in a call. Same country and time zone helps with this sort of thing. Hopefully, I can make the time.
krath, this is what I get when I try the number:
I searched the DIY section of the SNA forum and I found a post dated 5 May 2020 with a comment reflecting the same experience to both phone and email. Seems like they've gone off the grid.
The suggestion from SNA was to make contact with Hugh at Aspen Amplifiers who frequents this forum as AKSA. Apparently Aspen amps typically source their heat sinks from Conrad and given that they're based in the same town, what with the world being a small place, you'll probably be able to get a lead on what's happening.
All the best. If you gather intel, please do a share. I had them in mind for a flanged heatsink that's part of project that I've got in mind.
Cheers

For info funsters, had a good old chat with Julian at Conrad today and be assured, they're still in business.
As is often the case, the reason for the "radio silence" is a bit complicated. Some of the factors include ISP/telecoms fails and the ubiquitous Covid stuff (no surprise there).
I talked over what they could do with the twin flange heat sink. My idea being whether they could either cast a single flange for the 151.5 mm high unit or mill down the second flange. Turns out that what they do to make the 75 mm, single flange unit is simply cut the double unit down the middle. So, the simplest plan to satisfy my retirements, would be to take the double unit and mill down the second flange. Just send in a request for quotation and set out what you're after.
The point to bear in mind is that they wouldn't mill right down to the base of the heat sink. There would be a ridge of metal remaining. Just a thought if it suits.
