Ignition amp heatsink ???? Help!!!
« on: 30 May 2012, 17:08 »
Any ideas in where I can get a heatsink to mount my new ignition amp on, the old one was cable tied out the way since its got an induction kit and im trying to remount it properly but wanting to mount it on a heatsink wondered if anyone else had done this and where they got one from ???

Just done this with my classic mini - applying heaksink compound to the back of ignition modules is a very good idea it helps stop the heat frying the internals  :smiley:

Yeah that's the one, the last owner clearly didn't give a sh*t and the end result fried my amp so don't want the new one to go down the same route!!

If you don't mind mate?? I've looked all over for something else to do the job and stumped so would be ideal.
