Purchased one of the element kits three days ago and the thing arrived to me in Cairns already!!! :o

TIG-ed up the flange:

and got my brother (Electrician) to wire it up for me with silicon shielded 200 Deg Celcius rated 2.5mm flex. :-B

In a nutshell;

Excellent quality, really fair price and super fast delivery. Can't ask for more than that.

Looking forward to trying it out soon.

Thanks Mac!! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

+1 to everything you said Luke...we just wired up nine of these and they are faultless, the FSD elements are the best. They are just so much better than the crap ones I used to use. I have now replaced all of my elements and guard kits with FSD. Couldn't be happier.

You're very welcome Luke777, thanks for your kind words :handgestures-thumbupleft:

These elements are really proving to be very durable, out of over 300 sold I've only had 1 returned that was being used well over it's maximum amp rating :dance:

What were they doing? Runing the element between two phases (400v) or running it on an over rev'd genny
