The meter is in the UK. I've seen a few on ebay and they went for double what I paid
They give the dimensions in the manual. 12 5/8 long, 16 1/4 high and 4 1/2 deep and all metal

I wanted to get some measurements so I opened the pic in Photoshop and cropped it and made the unit's width 12.625". I found the image height then went back to the full image and made it that height. I then cropped out these four images to post here. If you download these images and print them with something like Photoshop that doesn't change the image size then you can cut them up and have a full size picture to take measurements from. Neat, eh?
The box is square and the gauges are 2 1/4" diameter.

Some years ago, I mocked up a plywood 'Switchboard' cabinet for my PU. But I would certainly like to get a more accurate metal cabinet made. We have the measurements, and I have blown up this picture of the front with closed doors. You can make out the spring closing clips top and bottom.
Anyone got a better picture? Ron

Default charging box

So who is going to make one of the charging panels ? And the switch box .

I wonder what they actually used in the C8 and F8 ? I've never seen a box fitted on the Canadian charging panel, they do show the light on the panel in some of the pics .

The meters should be easy to find . Close enough will do .

I wonder how many of thoseswitch boxes were chucked out ?

This is either a C8 or F8 and there's the mounting lug for the charging switchboard.
