Re: Rectifiers in UK ?
4 gal kit ( US 4 gal = 15.14 litres) isn't big enough to do the average cam cover. you are looking at being able to do a piece no bigger than 200 x 200 and even that would be pushing it. I run 25L round tanks (not chrome) and can do nuts bolts brackets, starter motor parts, thermostat housings, distributors, alternators....etc. All these sorts of parts would be ok in the 15 litre setup, 1 piece at a time.
with rectifiers, I would suggest you work out the largest piece you would consider doing calculate its surface area in inches and multiply by a bit more than 1 to work out maximum current, If it ends out being less than 60 amps you should have no problem sourcing a 30Vdc 60A bench top power supply for a reasonable price.
I outsource all my chrome work and stick to zinc and various chromates, copper, nickel, nickel cobalt. All relatively user friendly and safe.
Cheers
