 I have a brand new heater resistor ordered from Delta some years ago and installed on my spare heater box.  I was quite surprised to discover that it now has the same problem with loose connector rivets that you mention, as it did not have that problem when purchased.  (Sort of annoying for what was IIRC a US$30 part.)

I've measured its resistance with two different multimeters.  One, a Fluke 76, reads 1.9 ohms.  The other, a Fluke 77, reads 3.3 ohms.  Due to the loose rivets, these measurements were made on the foil side of the resistor, not on the connectors.
