[telectrix]

I've seen earthing nuts for swa in Cefs with specifically for the wiska boxes never used them though so couldn't tell ya if any good

they're the dog's nuts, mate. far easier, and quicker than banjos.

 

[HandySparks]

They are, but the clamping screws only just nip up on the very end of the thread of a typical 20mm SWA gland. Anyone know where you can get SWA glands with extended threaded part?

 

[telectrix]

think what you are saying is that the plastic of the box is too thick. in that case, i'd gland into a galv. coupler and fit a male bush in the box with a banjo.

I've used them before and would recommend themWiska Earth Clamp Bar for SWA Glands

Their the exact ones, not seen the doubles only the singles

Don't think Wiska do singles? Probably thinking of the Piranha eath nuts?

The photo on TLC's website shows how standard glands don't really reach fully through the plate. It would be more secure if the plates were threaded, rather than relying on the locking screw and the thread in the plastic box to retain the gland.

 

[elliot123]

I've seen them in cef they was in the box with all the wiska boxes not sure probably better off asking wholesalers closer to you

 

[keniff]

Thanks all! A lot of help I've gone with the mt boxes and piranha nuts

 

[Adeptgrp]

Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho it's off to wilkinsons for black plastikote spray you should go.

Sounds like you've got it sorted now, but I got a black plastic box from Maplin a couple of years ago.

If anyone's interested I drilled a series of holes in the front, added a toggle switch, a speaker cone and a few resistors to balance things out, and made a speaker for the kitchen.

 

[telectrix]

why want a speaker in the kitchen.? 'er indoors makes enough noise in there as it is.

 

[Adam W]

No, it was for me! It was in my old place, which was tiny. Too small for a separate system to be practical, but the wrong shape just to turn up the stereo in the lounge.
A small, cheap, easily cleaned speaker which can be switched in and out of the system seemed like the best solution.
