Heater for parts washer

Did an interesting upgrade to my parts washer today that I thought my interest some.
As my garage is only a couple degrees over freezing in the winter the cleaning liquid is really cold and not so efficient for cleaning parts.

Bought a universal element for water heater, 1500 watts, these are cheap. Drilled a hole on the side of the washer and screwed it in place. Toughest part was to find a nut large enough with the correct thread, couldn't find one in any of the local diy store so I just bought a small piece of threaded pipe and cut it. Seems like it's working well, an extra bonus is that I don't freeze my hands cleaning the parts anymore !
