What a cracking posting, Kato.
Thanks very much indeed for a straightforward, easy to follow yet very detailed "how to", with all the info and pics needed to do the complete job.
Definitely worth a big sticky in my opinion.
And a second "thanks very much" from me.
Maybe even a third.

I'm almost disappointed that I replaced mine with an Electrex unit a couple of years ago (which I believe to be SCR type rather than Mosfet, but there is some uncertainty).

As far as I can tell, you've fitted yours under the tank. Any particular reason for this ? I'm guessing its partly to keep the connectors in a dryer location, but that will obviously tend to keep the unit out of the cooling blast of air too, and surely these mosfet units still need a good cooling even though you say they run cooler than the std item....?

Final question...due to the improved reliability of the mosfet, is it your opinion that a secondhand unit would be a safe buy ? I would never fit a used oem unit, but maybe its ok with these for a cheapskate like myself.......?

And a fourth "thanks very much" from me.
