….give the Bloke some slack will you?
yeah but there's 3mm spare in the ring crimp.Hmm I reckon there's at least 2mm of unsleeved cpc at the cable sheath end.....
If you have only counter sink screws at least use a washer to make a more robust job of it.as title. using existing back boxes ( lighting) as original VIR cable in capping and managed to re-use route to save chasing. boxes are tight and nailed in. removal would cause a lot of damage to decor. no earth terminal in box, so my solution was to drill the side of the box and fit screw. obviously a 2mm HSS bit is no good to drill into the brick, that's why it's in the side. would have been neater if I'd gotmy box of ring crimps on site, but hey ho. at least the box is earthed.

You tell em Tel perzactly.i have already said i would be back with my box of ring crimps ( earthing boxes, for the use of), self tappers ( pan head, lugs for the use of) and knipex crimp tool (ratchet,crimps/lugs/for the use of) . the wrap round was just to get the customer some lights safely working (seeing after dark, for the use of).
You were lucky they weren’t plywood boxes.it's compliant. domestic jobs - no wriggle room for the extra hours that would take. original was 1950's no cpc on circuits whatever. customer may want to change to metal switches in future, so cpc's are there.
Yes, somehow fit one of these while the box is still attached to the wall.Anybody else got any wonderful ideas how to earth a back box without a prescribed earth terminal
