These were fitted on Mini vans and pickups as standard well into the late 1960's. My 1968 Mini Van had one. So look out for any scrapped ones from around then for one.

As an aside, Mini vans and pick-ups then had the heater brass tap at the end of the cylinder head as well, so grab that as well if you find one scrapped....

I don't think they are all the same you can get different resistances.
