Wakefield still sells many heatsinks. www.newark.com has a good search engine for them. I found one that is much bigger than yours and it might be able to hold both your output transistors.

It has a thermal resistance of 2.4 degrees C/W and the transistors have a thermal resistance of 1 degree C/W so with 50W of output power both transistors will dissipate about 40W and their internal temperature will be about 161 degrees C.

Go to www.newark.com and enter Heatsink in the search box.
On the search page highlight a thermal resistance of 2 degrees C/W and highlight the manufacturer Wakefield.
Click on Apply and you woll see that heatsink that is much bigger than the tiny ones you found.
Click on the link to Wakefield if you want to see all the heatsinks they make.

Your new heatsink is too small for the output transistors in a power amplifier.
