Camera EF-S whole is cut, also made up the heatsink unit for the TEC. I have tapped the heatsink with 6mm thread, then drilled through the housing which will also act as a heatsink and anti dew forming unit. Next goes the tec then the cold plate. The cold plate will have cork bushes and top washers inside the 8mm holes, this keeps the heat off the cold plate from the 6mm hex heads. Next goes a brass washer then spring then brass washers, followed lastly by the 6mm thread hex head bolts. This puts force down on the tec to gain maximum heat transfere without the risk of cracking or breaking the TEC. Heres some pics which might put the story together better then words.
This is an on going project and don't expect completion straight away, i just do this when i have spare time, which isn't often enough lol.
