I don't know if you have gotten your question answered, but I just build something similar. It is in a water-tight Hammond box. I used a carbide blade on my Dremmel to cut out a rectangle just slightly larger than my rectifier block. The block is attached to an aluminum heat sink fin. I put silicon II sealant around the heat sink where it attached to the outside of my box. The rectifier's metal back has silicon contact paste to facilitate heat transfer to the heat sink and it is screwed to the sink. The heat sink is screwed onto the side of my box. If you want I can send pictures.
