I'd been wanting to try this for a while now.. and today I decided to see if I could do it. I took one of my Cox .049 heat sinks and drilled a .125" thru-hole parallel with the mounting-screw for inserting an aluminum tube for water-cooling marine applications.

Not sure if/how-well it will work yet... but I'm optimistic. Smile

There isn't much "meat" on the other side Peter.. I thought about that too.. but didn't want to take the chance on ruining the part. I was actually lucky to get the hole on-center; all the way through. I used "peck-strokes" with my drill-press.

BETTER.. I re-drilled the outside bore to accept a #6-32 machine screw and swapped the tube to the inside bore. The original Cox machine screw was a #5-40.. so it can be used in a .049/.051 crankshaft some day.  Smile
