I got mine from Randy Holmquist (Canadian EV).  That was quite a while ago 
and I haven't gotten around to installing it yet, unfortunately.

Many people use elements from cheap $39 home ceramic heaters, but IMO 
Randy's are of appreciably higher quality (made in Germany instead of 
China).  I figure it's such a pain to take the dash apart and fit the heating 
element, at least on my Solectria, that I want to use the highest quality and 
longest lived parts I can.
