    This is what I came up with, I just wasn't sure how to mount the heat sink. Thanks for the help.

    You might want to secure that stainless braided TC wire.
    if it touches a hot lead then you can burn you bench up.
    I can't remember the guy that built one and his TC wire touched the hot lead and it became a heating element.
    Caught his wooden bench on fire. About burnt down his shop if I remember correctly.
    Don't like being hammered by the Cast Boolits Staff, then don't be a nail.
    The rules are simple to follow.

    Then I cut the square holes for the large parts and filed to fit.

    I am in process of laying out the vent holes for cooling.
    I have a very small fan but have not decided if it is necessary.
    It also needs DC voltage and that means some sort of power supply.
    Do you guy have a fuse in yours?

    Thanks for looking.

    I'll try attaching a little chart I think I made up for mine. If it doesn't happen to work out that I can do it PM me and I could then be able to email not only that but some things I've learned along the way. Well I can't figure out a way to send it on here. Or do as I did and google C to F and make a little chart up with the ranges you're interested in. I'm sure that's where I got my info.

    I can barely make out the model # but I think this is the manual for what you have

    https://www.rkcinst.co.jp/english/pd.../imnzc22e1.pdf


    According to the manual, page # 7 you can change the display from C to F

    Also look at section 6.3 on Page 6 and run autotune

    Keep in mind the problem with buying cheaper model PIDs is that some of them are CLONES and are labeled just like the original units.
    They don't have all the functions and features of the original units.
    I remember one "clone" that didn't have the auto tune function

    Yep. The chinese copy of the REX-100 has no auto tune and you can't swap Deg C for F.
    Hooroo.

    I would be willing to bet this is one of the clones. I have the paper that came with it and saw nothing about auto tune or changing from C to F.
    Unfortunately I am away and can't work with it for a while.
    Thanks for helping!
