But I suspect this thread has descended in to an electrician's equivalent of "How many angles can dance on the head of a pin?"
 
angles??? angels??

Id take the manufacturers data sheets over Screwfix's description any time.
Yes, looks like screw fix messed up, i'll shop at tool station from now on :)
 
is that for the 1926g
I looked a bit more and indeed you're right, not that i would use BG anyway as the last time i used one 3 of the mcbs were faulty.

I'll just quote Pete, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin”
 
I have fitted one of those BG units and I could have sworn it was a cast ally/lightweight alloy from the weight and the way it drilled.

Just did a bit of digging as I know there have been changes to these boards over the years, but can not find anything which confirms if aluminium was ever used for the enclosure. I know they used to be (probably still are) cast, rather than pressed, which might account for the odd feel it had when drilling.
