In all seriousness @Lou1985 the picture you was was when they were removed I was not smart enough to measure the spacing. I recently found a thread stating the spacing should be 1.6mm. When I get a chance to look at it again I’ll check what the spacing is.

I can tell in this picture that the spacing is way more than 2mm!

my main concern was that I saw the elements glow red. Didn’t know if that normal or not. The last time I saw red down a funnel it was on a conventional dockside switcher smoked like ALCO diesel for 2 minutes then never saw smoke out of the stack again.

You should never see the resistor get hot enough to glow at all! That's a "Red Flag", pardon the pun.
