Yes Rowland I have already checked that the little PCB with the connectors will fit back in place. I had considered just leaving it out, well taking it outside the camera and mounting it on the bottom as the ribbon cable was long enough - that way the bend would not have to be done, you could take the finger straight out the side with maybe a little spacer placed there to fasten the finger onto. I seem to recall that someone did remove it to the outside in one implementation of the cold finger. One advantage that presents it that it would be possible to carry more copper area or make a couple of pipes to allow more efficency in the cooling of the finger. That's an experiment for another time.
