Thermal Pad Kit

I'm replacing my logic board.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but during reassemby it would be sensible to replace the thermal pad kit.

From where can I obtain this kit?

PowerBook G4 12" Aluminium, Mac OS X (10.3), 867MHz, 256MB RAM, 40GB HD

Gerry, there were a few threads about thermal paste on the MacBook Pro boards. You may have more luck finding out there.

Good luck with swopping out the logic board - I've seen it done and it's not for the faint-hearted.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I should have said that I've already done a search of the threads, and not found what I was looking for.

Also, I don't want paste; rather, I want the thermal pad kit.

Finally, I should have asked for sources of purchase from preferably UK, or Europe.

I've only found one source for these pads and it seems a bit overpriced. I don't want to criticize the company publicly unless your source is cheaper. Does your source price the pads less than 29 dollars (US)?
