Got a part number?

Might be a bit of a hassle but could you chase in the rest of the SWA and chase a 4X4 metal adaptable box into the wall and gland into that. Then mount your CU over the top of the faceless adaptable box and bring the cores in through the rear knockouts of the CU?

Could I suppose as a last resort! Nice idea!

Just an idea, fit switch fuse onto swa, then run into CU.?

Theres already a switched fuse in the cellar!

contactum are good, with pre-punched holes on top and bottom, work well with glands.

I think you need to pull some more of the SWA out of the wall. A bit of boxing-in afterwards perhaps? Sounds a bit of a struggle. Though I quite like Ryans suggestion. Good luck with it!

Good grief some people really do like to make a mountain out of a molehill!

The OP wants suggestions for a board with a bit more room between the busbar and the bottom of the enclosure and this somehow turns in to a job of chasing cables in, adding switchfuses.........
