so where do you get a replacement heating element (Im looking for one for a FTX49)
You're missing steps and including unnecessary steps in this instruction. As well, you don't give a source for replacement warming plates. You might want to consider a rewrite.
I made a substitute hot plate from some sheet metal that I bought at the hardware store, and now I’m back in action with my delicious coffee.
Why they manufacture these plates out of poorly protected mild steel is beyond me. No, actually it isn’t beyond me - using inexpensive, unsuitable components certainly increases their profits. These plates almost certainly cost them less than 1¢ each, which is far cheaper than the 2¢ they’d pay for a suitable, durable part.

Before removing anything, do an in circuit resistance of those two small copper colored cylinders with a black end.
They are thermal fuses, and should have in circuit resistances close to zero.
Their placement is important, especially the one under the silver support bracket.
