If i can find a metal tube, that would fit onto the module, between the two rings in the head, the heatsinking would be just perfect!
If you take it apart completely, and you have only the metal components, i guess it would be possible to actually solder the tube to the ring that is part of the casing.
Still, i think the 30 mW CR2 from DX might be a better host for this project, provided things will fit. Take a look at the attached picture - it looks like the diode has proper metal contact to the body all the way. No gap like the KD, but a true fit. I ordered one o these, but havent gotten it so far, so i can confirm connection or dimensions.
