Sportscar style tyre oven

Does anybody know where to get a tyre oven, like the ones used in le mans series?

I'd just make it. All they are is a metal frame to stack the tyres on covered with a thick vinyl fabric tent. There's a hole in the back where you stick a space heater through.

Don't like the idea of the propane heater, you need to havea thermostat so you don't over cook the tyre.
Electric blow heaters are OK, we have some people offering this service on new tyres (our control tyre is the A048, it needs cycling)
