Bart:

I think you have the SISG and Tank Cap positions reversed in your diagram.

Dangerous in what way? From the aspect that the primary would be 
dangerous to touch while it's operating? absolutely!
Is the primary any less dangerous to touch when it's not floating while 
it's operating? no..
Dangerous for components? no..

Not sure I understand the direction of your comment. Maybe you can expand?

Regards,
Bart
