[Elecraft] K2 heatsink

[Trail Fox]

Assembly and removal of the heatsink, as everyone knows, is a royal pain.  If it could be lifted straight off, instead of having to be slid back over the connectors on the rear apron, it would be SO much easier.

My question:  

* Could the heatsink be smaller?

* What if a substantial rectangle of the bottom were cut loose from the rest of the bottom back piece so that the right-angle part that goes backwards off the connectors, and the part which is the heatsink and held on by two screws.  I am imagining a piece that could be about two inches by three inches...

What do people think?
