Hi Andy.

In theory I could put holes in the chassis, there is around15mm space between the board and metal. I have been thinking and have a possible solution, somewhere I have some silicon-heat transfer mat and I am pondering placing it under the valve around the socket. Or I make a finned heat-sink to slide on the aluminium skirt, it is already connected to ground so the fins would have no effect at audio!

I need to find my IR thermometer to actually see if it is an issue or not, but you certainly would hurt your fingers.
