    How to tighten a 50mm SWA gland with no access to locknut

    How to tighten a 50mm SWA gland with no access to locknut

    One of the mechanical guys onsite is 6'7" and he can only get his fingertips near the centre, What you can't see on pics is an 80mm post either side of the panel which means you need to double jointed too!
