[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 434107, member: 9512"] Yeah Deke, Banjo's on the inside, bend them down and tag the fly lead on internally. It's the way I do it out of choice. 1. Don't need to drill an extra hole. 2. Greater surface area between the locknut & the banjo than the gland. 3. As no extra hole, less chance of compromising the IP rating of the board. 4. Connection is protected. 5. Less chance of some idiot trying to unscrew the banjo bolt from the outside and the nut falling into the board. -1. Can't do this with separate cpc where this is run with the SWA, and lugged off to the banjo. -2. Can't inspect the banjo securing screw from outside the board. -3. Can't tell if there is a banjo fitted from outside the board. -4. Locknut is galv, not brass, but, brass contains enough zinc, imho for the electro chemical difference to be negligible, especially within the DB, which obviously is adequate for the internal influences...
