Thanks Phil, my main motivation is having a go, saving money is secondary. The body only costed me $300, so it can be nice paperweight if it fails .
BTW, the quote for a 40D supplied mod from Central DS is US$340 plus another US$46 for postage and insurance.
The critical things are thinness of the copper plate, complete insulation of the cold finger to ensure no condensation build up and lots of nerves .
