I suggested 10W wirewounds because I simply don't know the ratings in watts of the "official" HP resistors. Tony Smith's 5W suggestion a few posts back will most likely work perfectly well. 0.022 ohm, rather than 0.025 ohm, will make no practical difference.
The originals are plug-in jobs, so you may have to find two bits of brass to stick down the sockets, and solder the resistor(s) between them. The aluminium chassis under KB boards prevents you soldering one on the underside.

If all else fails, you could make one up yourself. Ceramic cased, 0.1 ohm 10 watt wirewound resistors seem pretty readily available, and four of those in parallel would give you 0.025 ohms. They would handle 40W, which is probably an unecessarily high rating for the job, but there's no harm in that.

That was quick.
Thanks for your effort, I will ring them in ?the morning.
