Next job is a custom light weight heatsink to meld into the black anodized look. I'm not sure how to go about this - machining an aluminium block or creating a mold and casting. A machined block might be easier. I cant find a heatsink with the right specs on-line.

The breadboard will go eventually.
How about a PC CPU heatsink ? I've got heaps of small weird shaped alum\copper slugged, coolant piped critters with radiators I've rescued from old PC's.
Have you got any specs of your requirements ? Even to take something already made and mod it to fit might be an option.
