Was recommended to try out an sft 70 on my Braun "6000" lumen spotlight for more throw/less flood. Is there any way to attach this short of drilling/tapping 2mm holes? That doesn't sound fun
Thermal glue is an option. It’s like thermal paste, but more permanent.

SFT70 is 6v, the led replacing is 6v. I would get the correct mcpcb that lines up with the original mount or like someone mentioned thermo glue

You don’t really need the screw holes. They are there to prevent the MCPCB from rotating, but thermal paste alone should introduce enough drag; plus, rotation shouldn’t be a problem as long as your solder joints are solid. I would proceed without worrying about it, and then cover the solder joints with some insulation (e.g. duct tape) to avoid shorting on the reflector.
Did we have a discussion a few weeks ago figuring out the voltage class of this LED?
