Re: [OT] - ish. Need small box with two bus-bars

Hi Nick

Roberts suggestion is quite good   and i have used that concept
myself....another solution...

Clipsal here in Oz make a neutral bar which is mounted in a plastic housing
like a junction box sothe bar is insulated..two of these could be used...Im
sure something similisr would be available in the UK..

HTH
