Nice! Is it just a clamp block that is screwed into the aluminum HBP?

I think so, though there is only one visible bolt (through the narrow side where the yellow wire goes in). There isn't a tension screw or anything for the clamp block - the wire cover (which is a stiffer material) is press fit through the cutout in the block. It's definitely a significant improvement over the original design.

Here is a picture of what the new connection/wire design looks like (sorry, was in mid-print yesterday )

aww... now if it wasn't for change you couldn't say things like...

"i remember back when we had to wind our own heater cores."
or,
"back in my day we had to use 2 power supplies"

hmm never thought an m2 would make me feel old.

I was winding my own heater cores on the V3a before the M2 was a thing ... back when the Mosaic was still in active production.
