my appologies, just dug out the regs from my car and your right Im turning 57 and I think dementure is setting in. So what is your interpretation of 526.5 , would putting the joint in wood be a combustuble material?

Jkays Do as previously advised, use a juntion box of some sort suitable and leave the earth as what is is supposed to be, a protrective conductor.

do we need to bear in mind that any cable connection has to be available for inspection so if concealed under moulding at some point in time it may have to be removed which may cause damage to your moulding

yea hes right about the fuse, bad typing Im afraid hit the 6 instaed of the 5 but since Im only going to use about 0.8 amps I see your point of the 3 - thanks
