Here's my Heatkiller backplate for 7970 if you want to compare the holes for yet another block.
The two far right screw holes use 12mm M3's, the rest are 8mm M3. Having said that the backplate really doesn't provide much cooling, so I'd imagine if it mounts successfully and stays put without moving it would be fine, it's not like you need perfect contact for it.

very neat indeed with the 90 degree angled fittings.
quick question regarding these: i have heard that the 90 angled ones might slow down the waterfowl, is that true ??
 
Tempting though the duck joke might be I'll resist ;)

I have read some posts on slight flow reduction depending on the number of 90° fittings used but I think that as long as you have a decent pump like a D5 you should have no issues as long as your loop isn't massive and by that stage your probably looking at dual loops or multiple pumps.
 
If using heaps of them with a dog **** pump it can, a D5 will hammer through almost anything.

@DavidS14, legend thank you, can now buy the nickel versions of these with custom backplates, should go nicely with the full nickel supreme I've just purchased :D

I've been assured by others that it won't with the pump I'm using.
