Bit late for this one but when anidising or plating something like that I use bulldog or market stall clips . Fit the handles inside the pipe and let them expand to grip the pipe . Fasten the power supply to the clip and away you go. Simple and effective.

Incorrect. The gas safety regulations state that one must be competant to work on gas fittings (this includes appliances) competency would be decided by a court of law in extreme circumstances.

One only needs to be a certified and registered if doing such work in the course of trade or buisiness

I cut my eye teeth on Netaheats and the Abergas HTM boilers as a gas service technician in the Early 1980's. 90% of circuit board faults were the main relay failing. The Abergas was the first Domestic unit to use the flame rectification system in the mid to late 1970's . Common though when instant shut off was required for large industrial burners and mid range package systems they could singe ones eyebrows drastically if they took more than a millisecond to detect a flame outage. Now, flame rectification detection is probably the most common flame failure device used in room sealed chambers

Mine were (I presume) extremely expensive mounts but they were thrown away from the packaging of a very expensive American made hospital scanner , by the delivery people that unpacked it. Only problem was They threw away the fixing nuts in an unretrievable place. I got 10 mounts and had to buy a box of 9/16" UNF nuts to fit them. Used 4 on the lathe Main advantage to me was the height increase it gave.

cheaper than buying ADJUSTABLE feet or fabricating a plinth.

I picked up a nice ex schools metric Viceroy to replace my aging and close to knackered Harisson L5 .

Having some health problems with my spine, I fitted anti vibration feet to raise the lathe about 50mm to make it more comfortable to work. The lathe is mounted on an 8" thick concrete floor in my workshop and certainly seems to run quieter than before I fitted the feet and I think they are beneficial to me
