Hi Guys,
Thank you all for the feedback!!! 8)
I have been doing some searching around and found that the
Reiff block heating element is apparently the "Kat's Universal Silicone
Hot pad". These are widely available in the US for about $20 (Amazon,
Napa Auto, Autozone, but not Pep Boys).
I am still looking for a band type element for the oil tank, although
another possibility is to us a 25-50 watt Kat's hot pad on the oil tank
since the pads are flexible down to 1" radius. (no compound curves)
I am also looking for thermostatic elements that can be mounted inline
on the 120VAC and attached to the block and tank.
I take it from the absence of comments that the block pad's location
just above the muffler's aluminum heat shield is not an issue.
