Heatsink for Tip 110

Hi everyone,
I've so far gotten everything working and am now finishing assembly of the extruder controller boards for Darwin. My current question is what heatsink should I use for the Tip 110 transistors? I can't seem to find it marked anywhere. Thanks for the help.
Greg

The one i use is about 36x27x13mm and has 12 panes. I think that is slight overkill because it never even gets warm.

i actually dont run a heatsink on mine, but it is a good idea to use one.

if you have any spare aluminum laying around, drill a 3mm hole in it and bolt it on.
