How to replace unavailable heat spreader?

Hey there,

Trying to fix my Nokia Lumia 930 USB port (http://www.smartphonefrance.info/Techniq...) disassembly was easy but I was required to remove the Heat Spreader (see step 13). Unfortunately, a new heat spreader can't be found anywhere, is there a way to replace this that provides the same functionality? Can I, for example, buy some generic thermally conductive tape/foil and cut it in the same shape? Which tape should I buy?

Looking for some experience-advice :).

Thanks

You can reuse the old one if you want. You could alternatively use copper with adhesive on the back but only on top of the metal cover area.

But the old one doesn't really stick anymore, and it's wrinkled due to disassembly... I guess that won't spread the heat like it used to before.

I think this should work well:

Depending on what you need you can search on eBay for different sizes.
