Thanks Mike. These boxes will only be for visual effect, so as long as the outside looks right, I'm more than happy.

They have the external part of the sockets intact which is a nice bonus.Although I've no idea what the four holes are around the sockets are for? Both boxes are the same. They also have the two holes at the back which can be filled with a 2BA countersunk screw.

If anyone has anything like, similar looking plugs as in the second picture going spare? Please let me know. Ron

My friend John made a press tool come drill jig and formed some 'D' ring clamps from the correct gauge brass (one extra for Mike)

Here is the finished result with engraved lids and painted holding frames.
Ready to install behind my WS11 where they will barely be seen Ron

Thanks Mike. I know from when I acquired the set, you told me it was a working example and I'm more than happy with that, but I've never had any intention of trying to use it.

I love to collect all the correct equipment to compliment my vehicles but wireless operation is a whole other hobby that I've never got into.

Cheers Ron
