    Wylex REC2S screws supplied?

    This might seem like a dumb question, but I got a Wylex REC2S isolator and there are no screws for fixing the covers on. Am I unlucky they have been lost from this box, or is there some obscure part I also need to order to get the fasteners to hold the covers on?

    Screws on Metal Backbox won’t tighten.

    I’ve been changing some sockets and the last one won’t tighten. They have used 75mm screws. The screw just slides into the lug. I’ve got a CK 3.5mm tap and tried that. Still no luck. Has anyone any tips or tricks? Or any screws that I could buy to make it tighter in the lug?
