The best way to solve this problem would be to buy a 12V cooling fan.  

They are readily available - even at Radio Shack (although theirs are 

somewhat costly).

		   Hi Group:

  

 Quick question:  Is there a need for a heatsink for the B&C e-buss 

 diode?  I am mounting the diode on .065 aluminum sheet under the glare 

 shield.  Would that suffice?  If I need a heat sink, what size?

  

 Also, what is the most economical/elegant way to step down 12.8 

 volt ship's power to 5 volts for an "avionics" cooling fan (i.e., a 

 computer cooling fan from Radio Shack)?  Thanks,
