Went to fit one today and noticed that there were no middle screw holes to secure the middle yoke (normally use MK where there are 3 rows of screw holes)? Spoke to other guys who said that they either pack the middle row out with washers, or drill a middle set of screw holes. Spoke to Crabtree technical who said to screw the yokes back to the back box. Problem is, if you do that then the switches are to far back from the front plate leaving a gap?
 
Correct back box, and designed for the face plate! Normally use MK, but as Crabtree was in stock decided to give it a go! Got it all from CEF, even had the rep out, who was also scratching his head!

Well if the supplier and manufacturer can't tell you how to use it then it's not fit for purpose. Demand CEF supply you a MK, or other reliable solution at no extra cost
