I drilled and tapped two holes in the copper heat spreader, and drilled 2 holes in the aluminum heat sink, then sanded down both surfaces with 600 grit sand paper, so they are both super smooth. Then I bolted the heatsink to the heat spreader and they lay perfectly together, with no hint of daylight between them. I think it will work really well.
