Replacement electric baseboard heaters

does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes replaced heater sections for Trane wall fin Type E heaters. I believe these heaters are from the early 1970’s. They are installed in a church where there is wall to wall baseboard. Due to age, wear, and tear the ends of some of the heaters are breaking and some of the internal wiring is deteriorated. My first thought was just to replace the sections as needed, however the existing ones are enclosed in a frame that goes are all the sections. Replacing one individual heater would then require doing something with the enclosure so the greenfield, and junction boxes are not exposed. The enclosure is about 3.5” wide that runs wall to wall that encloses all the heater sections, and thereby hiding the wiring and boxes. Thanks to all
