I used the 15 inch one but it  needs to fit under the baffle to just check. This will depend on your tank.

just go to a plumbers merchant and ask for a thermostatic heating element,i have the 11 inch one
you may need to purchase a 2 1/2 inch mechanical flange to secure the element on the inside of the tank(screwfix sell them)
plus a hole cutter
