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?

What's your e-bus loads? For 10A or less, mount to any metal surface.

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,

Go with a 12v fan.
