Hi Dermot,
I think you will find this one is too small. I have one from HF and I already think I need another one. Try looking at this link surely shipping to the UK and the price of the pot would be cheaper than the one you are looking at on ebay... http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93119

Thanks Bob & Jim, If i was able to ship from HF what else would i need to create the pressure?????. Would this be ready to connect??? [:I]
If it is a complicated thing to set up after buying the PPot then i fear that the understanding will fly far above the surface of my "Shinny Head", not the best at mechanical understanding. Thanks Guy's so far.

Take a look at the tutorials on the home page. Stevers wrote up a PDF set of detailed instructions. Or you could look at my instructions (That Stevers followed to make his) here:

Here's a pictorial assembly guide for my HF pot. Currently, this is a pressure only pot since the vacuum unit is on backorder from HF.

Once I had the fixtures removed and the parts at hand, the assembly took about 15 minutes. The original instructions came from Lee Thomas (Firefyter-EMT).

I had one small leak that was found with soapy water. The pot has been hold steady at 40psi for the last 2 hours. I think I'll be ready to cast with this pot tomorrow.
