I received my quad supermicro g34 board today. And thus starts the second 4p g34 build for me! 
Earlier in the week, I started the process of implementing the MuskyMod on some 212+ HSFs. Through trial and error, I tweaked his steps just a bit. Per Musky's comment, I decided to use rivets to mod the 212+ cross brace. After screwing up a few too many times and having to drill out the rivets, I finally go the hang of it. [Note: The shelving piece will be very close to the 212+ heat pipes. If you put the rivet on the wrong end of the rectangle in the shelving piece, then you wont have room to attach the next rivet on that side of the HSF.]
Instead of using bolts threaded from the bottom side of the mother board to hold the HSF in place, I decide to make some threaded rods from 1 1/4in #6-32 bolts. Wire cutters were used to cut the bolts and a die set used to fix the threads after the bolt was cut.
I'm using a #6 split washer and nut to attach the HSF to the board. I briefly tried to use the 212+ spring like musky did, but it was too tight for me to get the nut on. The nut and heat pipe were too close together. Using a shorter rod and omitting the spring made it much easier to attach the HSF to the board.
This is all for now. More updates will follow after some sleep.
