Here's a quick run down of how i replaced the heater on my B31,
take the shroud of the new heater and flatten both ends.
connect two crimp on connectors to ends of wires,
i used the original two clamps with the ends flattened that press the mica to the boiler,
assemble the shroud and clamps together like a sandwich put the heater in the middle of them,
i then turned a piece of brass to 2"x35mm with a 10mm bore and pushed it into the middle of
the heater to act as a heat sink.
Put the plate back on and enjoy.


Can anyone tell me if the two handles on the last photo are original or not ?
thanks Trevor.
