Ok i have looked it up and it seems that if the Pressure vessal (boiler) is less than 3bar litres then it is exempt but they advise you to have a safety valve fitted ( most mamods i have had or seen have one fitted) and that the whole unit be checked over once a year
i think i must be writing in the wrong forum :mental:

Fantastic idea and great pics.

Now there's an idea for a turntable drive system. Could you imagine ways to reduce the gear noise? :lol:Quote:
directly driving the platter via bevelled gear and centrifugal governor
Just found this one
