    Micc

    As an afterthought from the Buck House thread, when I mentioned it would probably be a MICC install, several people mentioned they would give their back teeth to work with differing sizes of MICC, prompted me to ask the question "What's the largest size MICC you have worked with"? Singles or...

    The Spotted Thread - Spotted another sparky on your travels?

    Thought I'd start this up again. We had one ages ago but thought it's time for a new one.
