Hey djmurphy,
If you don't know much about electrickery, please don't play with it. It doesn't give out many 2nd chances. There are a few threads here with people who have made them who are sparky's. You wouldn't want to wire the element around wrong and have your whole boiler "Live".
There are other places as well who can custom make elements to the size you want. I have got one on the way that is two 1.8kW elements which I will be attaching to a PID controller (automatic temperature controlled). Many others use a potentiometer to control the voltage, but I personally prefer the automatic control once set.
Hope that helps :handgestures-thumbupleft:
