he wished for a pair of 20mm Oerlikons
Usually, keep things like that in a tray anyway least your going to make a proper job of it.i would have used same if i'd got them with me. still a lot of work to do there so will alter with ring crimps. but customer needs lights today.
oerlikons were foreign, so 20mm.20mm? Don’t you mean 3/4”? Was imperial back then.
Lost count of the number of drills and M4 taps I bust when rewiring old farmhouses. They all wanted to keep the old switches, so had to earth all the old boxes.
thatwould be a solution but customer wants plastic. metal/chrome accessories would add a couple of hundred on the job.Should have put a metal switch plate in.
Then you could have taken the CPCs to the switch plate and the back box would be earthed through the screws.
Excellent, win win.thatwould be a solution but customer wants plastic. metal/chrome accessories would add a couple of hundred on the job.
well, i'm not going to give you dililah, even if it is the best cover alex harvey did and SCFC anthem, so how about coming upwith a song with Olga or Grazynya in the title???? hmmmm. .
Not a full solution, methinks. earth the face plate...remove it and...
BANG!
Mind you, I always wanted hair like Art Garfunkel...

would be nice to do that, but box nailed in, 1950's plaster tight round box. getting box out would lead to the room needing redecorating. sometimes you need to balance the costs. already re-used the original capped channels to save chasing.
Happy birthday to......"anyone who claims to know everything is a liar and a heathen"
True, but in my retirement I have learnt so many songs that I can now confidently say that if you give me a name, boy or girl, I can find a song with that name in it...and because I am an old git, I know I have done this before!
Anyway, leave a safe job...Tel, you did.
that fix i did is a good an earth as any factory fitted brass terminal with a titchy 2mm screw in it.So let them redecorate.
Do you really think it is better to place a persons life at risk than leave them facing the cost of re-decorating?

should have popped in an earth rod below the switch and bonded with 10mm into the backbox through a concrete anchor fixingthank you DPG.
