    When you get a new coil you will need pins to hold the element to
    the fire brick.  These may be supplied by the place where you get
    the element.  The most critical part of replacing an element is
    making good contact between the coil and control wiring.  If you
    can't find good crimp fittings you should try a ceramic shop.  They
    have coils and the necessary fittings to complete the job.  They
    also have ceramic blocks which can be uset to raise the flasks to
    provide better burnout. One suggestion.  Do not place very tall
    flasks near the coils.  The flasks will trap the heat from the coil
    and may cause the coil to fail.  Place the taller flasks in the
    center of the kiln. Lee
