Element Problems

[Back Yard Brewer]

gday BYB,

shouldn't be a problem to cut it, wrap a bit of emery cloth around the socket to get a straight line, mark it and cut it using a 1mm cutting wheel, finish off the sharp edges with a flap wheel and the thread with a small half round file.
hope it works out for you

slightly :icon_offtopic: , could you post up where you purchased the element please ?

cheers

My local L & H electrical wholesaler. The element is a stokes with thermo well. May try the emory cloth method.

Yardy, Stokes are the go, they have every kind of element you could imagine.
Stokes catalogues There is also another mob in Brisbane called Helios, but they do not carry a large range of water heating elements.
