What Make Glands to people use..

Ive been using some from local wholesaler, but the earth tag is just poor, Im sure there are better brands on the market.. just would lilke some recommendations.

I always use Pirelli glands from 'Newey and eyre', they cost a bit more as you get everything you need in a packet (shroud,earth tag, adapter for 20mm and a locknut)
 
Perelli or the best.

All come as a kit though :?

Greenbrook are good value for money, but the earth tags are still a little small.

On smaller 20S and 20L, I prefer to use CW both indoor and outdoor. They bite a lot better than the BW.

When will they start supplying brass locknuts - the galx ones always sem to corrode, even in an IP rated box :oops:
 
Im not bothered if they come as a kit, Im just not too enthusiastic about the earth connection on them, I like to use a 10mm or 16mm earth to them depending on what is for, but regardless of the gland size they allways seem a bit thin with a tiny hole.. does every body else drill through the cu and tag and bolt right through, unless IP rated?

I do. All banjo's I see can accomodate an M6 brass nut and bolt - plenty big enough for most jobs.
