something_totally_different · 24 Sep 2008 at 17:30

basically i have a nexxox XP chrome block on a 939 platform, but im moving to 775 and no one seems to be able to sell me a 775 bracket to hold it in place so i dont know what to do as i really dont want to fork out another £45 for a new block all because i couldnt get a five pound bracket. any suggestions :confused:

cheers.

Interested to hear if anyone has an answer to this one. I have my old swiffy 6002 sitting doing nothing cos I cant find anywhere to sell a bracket for it.

cpu-cooler > fastening brackets > Stainless Steel Fastening Bracket Sock. 775 (first one on list)

google 12666 NexXxos XP for a cheaper source (non uk)

not that hard really

did that, £25 inc postage and a week wait, cheaper and easier to get a new block.

All you really need is the template for the hole positions, then adapt the middle to fit your block.

Use this to cut out from a steel/aluminium plate the size you want, cut holes for where the barbs go, Robert's your mother's brother.

I had exactly the same problem. I managed to find a new bracket online.
