    Wanted Old/Used/Faulty BG RCBOs for wiring practice rig

    As title; am after old/used/naff BG RCBOs to throw one or two in my wiring rig and as they wont be used IRL I can't really justify the £10-20 price tag new ones attract so figured I'd be cheeky and ask. On a side note; do many sparks reuse old/removed kit if its still in workings order...

    Wanted Old board, Newer board, DNO head & old meter for practice rig

    I've been doing my usual and watched a JW vid explaining what belonged to whom and it got me wanting to create a mock-up myself to practice on - I know we should only be touching consumer-side equipment but the purpose (and hope) of having the cutout is so I can setup the various earthing...

    Bonding metallic back boxes. Best practice?

    Something about the way this box is bonded feels wrong. I prefer the box to remain bonded even with the accessory removed. Is this method compliant? What do others think? (Ignore missing grommet) (Taylor Wimpey new build)
