Default Dual PMD heatsink - DIY

I ordered the $650-ish Modmafia dual PMD heatsink. But while I'm waiting, I wanted to get a dual PMD setup with a large heatsink installed, so I made my own :-)

It was fairly cheap to do, and actually came out okay in my opinion. Here's the step by step I went through along with trial and error, incase you want to do the same:

Nice work. 2 issues: #1-tie straps took your project from professional look to amateur status! After you fitted the mount bracket, why not drill some pilot holes underneath and secure with panel screws to the bracket, that would be hidden(blind screws)? #2- why not cut an angle on the front where the hood hits?

100% agree. For me personally, this was a temporary mount to get me by while I wait on my Modmafia dual PMD mount. So I didn't spend a ton of time on it. But if I was going to keep it permanently your suggestions are definitely a good route to go. I like your idea of cutting an angle on the end of it for hood clearance.

Got the ModMafia Dual PMD heatsink and battery tie down bracket installed today. Had it sitting for a couple months in the garage and finally got time to put it on. I gotta admit, it’s pretty nice. Very nicely machined and the anodizing seems well done. And it was a perfect fit. Video of the install if you’re curious how it looks and fits on the H1.

Made a pigtail dummy plug for the spare PMD to protect the terminal and connector from the elements. Took 5 minutes and well worth the effort:
