approximately how far away are the heating elements from the plastic on yours during heating? Im shooting for about 3 inches with the electric oven elements at its closest, but that measurement is based on nothing.

The fun part will be rigging up a way to achieve the same thing as those sexy red cam locks on yours. I was going to try and adapt the clasps from around the stock MB air filter housing, or maybe an old ski boot. Those are even adjustable!
