mounting plate

[bahco]

hey lads

i need to purchase a mounting bracket for a dimmer plate, customer only has a 25mm metal box and the dam thing wont go in.

its all been decorated so i really dont want to make a mess, is there a mounting plate that can go on the dimmer to bring it out off the wall?

im sure ive seen one but cant find one anywere, id like one in satin chrome but white will do

thanks matt

What I usually do if i find a plate won't go all the way down, is use sealer neatly round the edge of the plate. Once it's set it won't move.

I purchased a Dimmer the other week and a wall spacer was supplied with the switch, the dimmer was made by GET electrical also they make a retro fit dimmer which will fit in a 16mm deep box

just put in a deeper backbox...is easy enough to keep the surrounding plaster intact with some skillful drilling and chiselling.
