Abstract
A method for inserting a heat port into a stamped base unit includes manufacturing a heat port from a hard metal and providing the heat port with a flange and a recessed locking area. The base unit is provided with a counterbored base hole, the base hole including a counterbore area. The heat port is stamped into the counterbored base hole so that the heat port flange coins the base unit material by the counterbore area into the recessed locking area of the heat port.

A method for inserting a heat port into a stamped base unit comprising the steps of:
- forming a base hole in a base unit;
- manufacturing a heat port from a malleable metal, wherein the height of the heat port is greater than the thickness of the base unit, and the diameter of the heat port is less than the diameter of the base hole;
- and
- stamping the heat port into the base hole to compress the height of the heat port and expand the diameter of the heat port so as lock the heat port into the base hole.
