these might be brass rods.... kinda like brazing rather than sweating...
the plate assy tranfers so much heat that I can hardly get each connection hot enough.... so much for a pretty looking box, it looks like a barbeque at this point 
two more leaks sealed, waiting for cooling..... it takes a long time because this is like like 20LB's of copper/aluminum, the copper plate is awsome for heat tranfer... this backlight is going to work awsome...... if I ever finish it......

there's nothing like trial and error. Makes the project much more valuable...

wow, I just re-read this thread & realized that it's been 5 months since I started this, & 4 out of the 5 i've had no pc in the car
I think it should be back in final real soon, can't wait to finish the bezel & paint it & call it done,,,,
I,m undecided still whether I'm going to paint the dash bezels matte silver grey, or gloss black..... I have a new odessey in the shop this week & it has gloss black trim bezels.... it looks pretty slick..... might just go that route

I epoxied the lines to reinforce, seal & make sure it never leaks.... it sits right above my pc so a leak could be trouble more than just a wet carpet
it's pretty close to done, just have to finish the final lense & mount up & wire the led's....
first I used a liquidy flowing epoxy to fill any leaks & all crevices....

cleaned prepped & painted the whole inside with a high heat engine paint..... used a nickel at each led point so the led's will directly contact the copper with heat transfer compound....

That is awesome! Looks great, should turn out really well with all the time you've spent working on it.

heater core less durable to outside in grille elements, thicker to, & not nearly as easy to mount..... a tranny cooler will be the cleanest & most reliable way to do this.....

Why mount it outside?
Just as easy to mount, run threaded rod through it
so what if it's thicker?
oh well, your money
