    Wesco Furnace Replacement Parts
    I need one of the ceramic insulators that keep the heating element from touching the frame

    "You probably will not be able to locate parts for the old Wesco. There has been many posts here and on other boards about this problem. I have searched all over for parts and none are available. They also used a special ribbon type heating element so the standard replacements available for other brands will not work either. If you ever find a place that has the parts please post the company and phone number because folks doing a Google search or other search will be glad to know they are available.

    Only real option is to replace the unit. Sorry "

    That said, an insulator is a pretty generic item, it just has to keep the element from grounding I bet you could find a similar one and figure out how to adapt. Go to a good HVAC or electrical supply store and see what you can find.
