good idea.. i might wanna use it also...
how u paste the sink to the backplate?
use double sided tape, those thin yet sticky ones...they're damn effective, but only on blue ice/copper heatsinks, and make sure most area of the base of the heatsink is covered. It will get as hot as the plate used to be if all heat is transferred to the heatsink.
I used an cheapo aluminum heatsink before, the heatsink was just warm only, not all heat was transferred...mayb it even block the heat from escaping loh.

I dont think it will affect the performance too much. Thats because only the amplifier chip is connected/glued to the backplate to disperse the heat generated. The louder you turn on, the hotter it will get. Thats it.
Yes not too much, but the lower the heat, the lower the electrical resistance = more current/signal pass through the IC. If you take a look at those op-amp data sheets and graphs, even 10 degree Celsius increase in temperature will affect the current passing through it by a margin...so yeah, i was using the same principal as that...also it will prolong the life of the chip...
BTW. i think i'm becoming a freak. ahaha.
