I found out by accident that one can use Mag Cree heat sink for SST-90.
Here is an SST-90 directly soldered to a 1.5mm copper pad (cut from a copper sheet file it flat). This pad will raise the SST-90 above the two tiny raised brackets on top of the heat sink post.
Solder the wires 90 degree angle comes out at the corner straight. Try to use only 1/3 of the solder pad area leave most of soldering pad clean, so it wont get into the way of the tiny raised brackets as seen on top of the heat sink post.
I plugged a 1 long Copper rod into the rear end of the H22a Mag D Cree sink to increase heat sinking capacity. I dont think its necessary if you dont drive the SST very hard, lets say 5 Amp.
Lowering the SST-90 down at an angle, so the wires Align with the holes:
Last step is Arctic silver down the copper pad to the Cree heat sink.
Clamp it up untill it's completely set, this will make the thermo adhesive layer very thin for optimized heat transfer.
Its done. My copper pad is longer stick out at one side but doesnt matter, as its for Aspheric mod.
Obviously, If its for reflector mod, the pad can not stick out like this, because it needs to clear the reflector, allow the led post to go up into thr reflector opening.
