You can always find an old school hot water heater shop in your area. There is a chance they still employ or know someone who can make one off elements. It is not cheap, but also not as expensive as I thought it would be to get one made.

I expect that the one you found is the one at Stefano's espresso care. (http://www.espressocare.com)
Curious why you don't like that one? If it were me I'd buy that along with the resettable thermofuse, or perhaps consider going with the single element and using the saved money to add a pressure gauge.

PS shorter screw are needed as well ( 3 of p-18s)
since the s/s flange is much thinner then the old brass one
and heating element gasket (o-ring style p-7ss)
if you order the suggested thermostat some thermostat silicone grease is also not a bad idea

Ordered it all! Wasnt too excited about paying that much though. Guess we are a captive audience, so they can charge us whatever they want. Not meaning you Stefano, your price is better than anyones. Speaking in general.

Someone needs to make one of these peacocks gas fired!
