True...I saw it wasn't running excessively hot and it should be fine, but I thought I would take advantage of all that metal plate surface area on the back of the R/R. The existing heatsink on the device is quite generous. With airflow being a little less I suspect in the new mounting area as opposed to the original location and since I have the space to do it I figured..what the heck, let's add a few of these on the back side of my mounting plate. I have used these before on a couple other projects and they are the perfect size...100x25x10mm. Easily drilled and mounted. What can I say, sometimes I'm my own worst enemy on overkill and being fussy! After reading many of your posts over several years [USER=3206]@DEcosse[/USER], I suspect you suffer from the same condition of being fussy.

[QUOTE="Bedifferent, post: 524549, member: 5543"] True...I saw it wasn't running excessively hot and it should be fine, but I thought I would take advantage of all that metal plate surface area on the back of the R/R. The existing heatsink on the device is quite generous. With airflow being a little less I suspect in the new mounting area as opposed to the original location and since I have the space to do it I figured..what the heck, let's add a few of these on the back side of my mounting plate. I have used these before on a couple other projects and they are the perfect size...100x25x10mm. Easily drilled and mounted.
