2 new Heater Elements will be here tomorrow, I used a dremel tool with cutoff wheel to cut the front panel. Once I have no more issues I will make a cover for the open area. I am interested to see the new gasket, There was no sign of a gasket when I removed these, just a very thin layer of black material. The bracket sitting in front of the water heater clamps the element in place and holds the tank centered in the sheet metal housing. Fans are drying out the fiberglass insulation.
