Some guys use epoxy on the plastic parts of the blocks to build up the thickness to help keep them from cracking out.

The colder your slush box goes down the more you would have to worry about it. If you just have everything around 0C I wouldn't even worry about it, that only 32F. But if your lucky and can get it all down to -20-30C I'd be careful with any plastic blocks.

Danger Den used to have a brass top version for there Maze GPU blocks, maybe you could trade someone out of there Maze for your Swifties and get brass tops for them. I guess DD still makes the brass tops, I know they do for NB blocks.
