Normal gland and piranha nuts.
Give your cable a good bending before you offer it up to the hole.

and fix cleats so there's no strain on the plastic enclosure.

Yeah a pic would be good, I've never used those piranha nuts! Just had a look on the Newlec site, how do you use them? Excuse my ignorance! Thanks for the replies.

No I twisted it together with a bit of tape lol, no they were crimped really, I use my klauke big blue handle things on it.

The sub meter, it's in an annex, he wanted a sub meter to make it easier splitting the bill.

The only issue I had, I had to shave quite a lot of the plastic off the box on the inside to get the piranha nut on as it's not meant to fit as your meant to use the wiska ones but they only seem to do doubles and I wanted to use the single port so the swa entered centrally.

I just crimped lugs on the earth and used the bolt to bolt into the nut as you can see, but yes it does have an Allen key to tighten up to the main thread.

The piranha nuts are absolutely brilliant, very very good if you are going into a box that's either metal or plastic that they fit nicely on.
