flat form glands

[the pict]

Been using Remora, but the 2x 2.5 glands dont come in 20 mm hole size and the 10,s and 6,s are areal pain in the backside as they dont fit any bloody standard holes, any one know a make that are designed to fit standard metal CU,s with standard holes sizes, so glad I did not buy the installer kit, even the ones that do fit namely the 1.5,s are so close together that tightening one un does the one next to it

You are using PG glands that are some strange USA size!
You need to find M__ type glands that will t hen fit the knock outs.
Lapp make a flat cable gland or possibly the wiska sprint glands.

PG is actually a German thread spec, I believe it stands for PanzerGewinder or something like that

I've always been told it stood for panzer gauge. Never looked to check, but you're right it is German.

Bloody Germans coming over here and doing away with our UNF, AF, UNC, Whitworth BSC, BSF, etc telling us what to do, at least we only needed 10 different spanner sets in the good old days, couple of screwdrivers two adjustable spanners and pair of pliers and you could strip a morris minor engine at 9 o'clock Saturday morning and be at the seaside by lunchtime.
Sigh
