Protecting those resistors

I don't even have mounting brackets... they seem to have disappeared some time ago.
bracket is 'part and parcel' of the resistor, be surprised if they're not there 
They do have a hard life where they are located, i believe corrosion sets in where the resistor coil is riveted through to the terminals, which can seriously increase the resistance value!
Joe's appear to be a slightly different design with nuts holding the terminals on, like the ones on Ebay

Interesting did that at college the other week, took me back a bit !
Readily available from RS in Norwich if Mike gives us the part number or I could look it up, can't read it in the picture might be an old one anyway.
Theoretically you could use 2 in parallel or 2 in series to reduce the heat.
Have also seen them replicate a shotgun if you get the values wrong so be careful !
Maybe 158-301 ? 1Ohm
Good thing about the modern replacement (although not stainless) is they are anodised and sealed wit resin. Oh and they look expensive for £1.68 !

158-317 no idea if that's the right number of watts (but not blown up yet)...
