Hi All
any suggestions for a small adaptable box with dims approx 50 w x 50 deep (length not really an issue), the Wiska 206 would be ideal (85mmx49mmx51mm) however I need to get an earth Banjo on there as it is swa cable and I don't think I will get one on on the wiska with the pre threaded holes (not enough room on the internal gland thread, any suggestions appreciated

use a wiska box with wiska's own gland plate.

Thanks Guys, don't think they do the earth plate for the smallest 50x50x85 box. I could use a piranha earth nut but the glands i have the internal thread isn't long enough to pass the plastic thread of the Wiska

Thanks for all your help chaps, will see if those schneider boxs will fit. Yahtzee, you say the earth bar fits, but does it sit behind the moulded thread of the Wiska, if so the gland thread won't reach the earth bar, unless you are using a specific gland with a longer internal thread, would be interested to know. Cheers

With the gland I'm using, once it is fully wound onto the wiska plastic thread, there is no gland thread sticking through on the inside, it is not long enough, maybe a need a longer thread gland-what make did you use
