Helped a couple of youngsters out the other day,a real overspec of installing pyros to light fittings in trunking in late 70's,kinda mad,one of the ends came off,youngsters had new pyro glands,but the orig are imperial,so struggled with fitting them.
Old timer soon sorted that,used orig pot & resealed,they looked at me & said nothing,big one up for me ha ha .

Try and use the original pot and a new gland, is the MICC LG or HG? As said before if you want help Pete999 is willing
 
You said "if its imperial and you only have metric glands any tips? Its 2.5 2 core" If you look at the chart posted above a 2L2.5 pot will fit on an imperial cable that used imperial 264 pots without any need to emery the sheath, drill the pot or solder the pot into position. In other words the pot fits without having to carry out any additional work.
 
It's at a hospital where the aspestoes guys had to cut the cable to get rid of aspestoes board so no existing think it is L.G.

Never actually soldered a pot to pyro,been lucky I guess,either used orig or metric pots.
Anyone remember the wedge type pot...complete nightmare to fit,it didn't last long.
