Well I see some EBAY links for Heatsinks. If you dont mind not having the black anodized heat sink and your looking for decent priced ones I went to http://www.heatsinkusa.com. Ordered on a Thursday and received on the next Monday. Plenty of size options. I paid 28 bucks for a 6 by 10 that includes shipping.

I can back up this place, Ive ordered from them a couple times and they were great

As to the anodizing, its really easy to do yourself, just a couple things to find, most uncommon thing to have really is a rectifier(or as I used a battery charger)

For contactors Ive used this place, 11$ for a 40A/50A resistive contactor

For twist locks Ive found that the Marinco ones on ebay/amazon are 1/2 the cost of the hubbell, I was able to get a 50A cal standard 4wire flange and connectors for 65$ shipped

Is this eBay seller a reliable source for 40amp SSR's with heatsinks?

Item here.

At $11.99 with free shipping, looks too good to be true.

I'd take a shot for that price. Even if the SSR gives you problems, you still have the sink.

I'm gonna stick with American made Auber Instruments

Auber PID's are also made in China.

Thanks for the links guys! Those made up SO cords are great!

I havent seen Automation Direct yet - They have a little bit of everything.
