Straight rod heating elements?

Hi folks,
Any ideas on where I could source straight rod type heating elements in Ireland? ... the ones that look like this:


I've found them for sale from a few UK companies doing spare parts for the catering industry. For example at http://www.tpfay.co.uk/our-products/straight-elements/straight-heating-element-standard-stock/#.W71tF2go9-E

I'd prefer to buy locally if I can though.

The end use here is as an electric boiler element which can be lifted out of the pot for easy cleaning. The element rod ends will be bent upwards and sealed in to vertical pipes using 8mm compression fittings.

Thanks
Vince

I bought 8ft long 3kw elements from Radionics aka Radiospares in South Dubland for a good price and good delivery.

Thanks Will, ya I'd spotted the Radionics listing but I thought it was a bit too expensive. If that's the going rate I'll probably just order from the UK after all.

I'm looking at 2 * 3ft elements of 2500W each, for £44.50 delivered.
