[QUOTE="ampad, post: 260722, member: 17736"] Hi, Just thought i'd add wylex is pretty much direct swap for abb, little tight but no altering needed (which i think is a defo no no, it fits or it don't) Will own up to a little bit of buz bar bending on occassion, but that hasn't changed anything that would compromise the mcb. Filing the buz bar prongs down i would say is leaving yourself wide open if something went wrong (changing the fundamental design). I know in the real world that it probably won't, as they are more than big enough to carry the loadings. As for the debate, i think its not good practise (they look nicer when all matching), but on domestic will do it without much sleep lost. Do try not to though, but in my eyes not worth the costs of an extra visit. Don't do it on commercial jobs unless its a have to. [/QUOTE]
