Did some more digging through the Brewtus archives and found a reference to 37mm.
Planning to use yellow teflon on the threads after a thorough cleaning. I've also read that people have had to fashion their own gaskets, hoping the WLL replacement comes with one. I've rebuilt engines and a thousand other things so I'm not afraid of complexity but the fragility of the boiler and the force necessary to remove the element are concerning. Planning on leaving the boiler in place, using an oil filter wrench next to the end plate of the boiler and an impact wrench to loosen. Any advice is appreciated.
