I could be wrong but I don't think anyone in the tuning scene sells elements on their own anymore, I think they just rebuild the pump for you, I think there were counterfeit elements getting around.
A website called DieselKontor from Germany sells 7mm elements but I don't know much about them, they might just be Edelbrock or Monark elements which don't really have a good profile for high performance from what I've read.

The 7mm elements are Bosch elements for the transit engine. Dont know the ins and outs but there have been a few comments that they arent the best, have a search and you will see them. Dont think you can buy 7.5mm elements and they aren't a DIY fit anyway unless you're a diesel pump mechanic of course with the kit to calibrate the pump again. PPD and Dieselmeken from here will supply and fit them for you.

Hmmm, I had read a lot of posts about people picking up the elements from Tomnik, I was hoping there was a few people about selling various sizes.
RE: Looking for 7.5mm Elements - Mark_M - 04-16-2013
Yes he doesn't do that anymore, he sells them through PPD now I think. Nobody wants their custom elements being put into a half assed pump setup and then complaining so they are supply and fit only. Biggest you will get off the shelf are the ones linked to above.
I take it you have a friendly pump guy who can fit these properly?

There was a thread about 8mm elements from a Volvo or something.

Search the site. But I would just send your pump to Dieselmeken.
