[QUOTE="LesNewell, post: 388088, member: 25922"] I would have thought many of the wiring techniques carry over from the work I do on machinery. I don't know if it is the correct way but I was taught to terminate SWA like this: Slide boot + back nut over the wire (this is the bit I usually forget to do until later!) Work out where you need to cut the armour and saw around the cable until you are about half way through the armour wires. Strip outer sleeve and snap off the wires. Expand the wires by wiggling the inner and fit body of the gland, trying to keep the wires as even as possible. Tighten nut and fit boot. Use a banjo washer to connect CPC. I just did some checking and as far as I can tell I could quite legally fill in an EIC, as long as the installation has been done in accordance BS7671. Yes, that is probably the best plan. Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. [/QUOTE]
