Can you get, e.g. DIN rail mount, brackets to allow a SWA gland to be fixed within an enclosure?

You can get an enclosure c/w DIN rail fitted and an assortment of terminals with adequate space for the termination of one or more SWA glands.
Does this answer your strange question?

I don't know - does it provide me with a solution which allows me to mount a SWA gland, or otherwise properly terminate the armour, entirely within the confines of the enclosure?
Is there a backplate within the enclosure?
Can you manufacture a 90 degree metal bracket, drill a 20mm hole (if that's the size required) in one side and mount the other to the backplate?

din rail mount?
not that I know of.. but the company I used to work for made their own 20, 25 and 32mm angle brackets for terminating flexible conduits to.. they'd work for SWA too I'm sure but they were screw down ones not din rail..
at a push if it's slotted dinrail you could use cable ties through the slots and an earth clamp on the SWA..

Why don't you get a suitable small piece of sheet metal, form a 90degree bend in it using a metalwork vice, drill a hole to suit the gland, and then pop rivet it into your enclosure... earth to the metal to be provided to lug bolted onto the banjo tag on the SWA
We're like buses! 
Interesting. I've never seen these - care to provide a link? I don't have any reason to need these, and can't see why it would be necessary, but it would be useful to know such products exist.
I've seen plastic DIN rail mount enclosures, but that's about the closest thing I can think of.
Come to think of it, I've used a smaller version of those before. Not really suitable for terminating SWA without the needs for a gland, though.

'Electonicsuk', I'd gladly provide a link to an enclosure with a DIN rail, but the thing is I just don't know how to cut and paste or provide anything other than a simple link which I have to type out laboriously in longhand.
I'm afraid that you'll just have to take my word - for what it's worth.
I get such enclosures from Newey's.
I'd like to remind BAS that he has used such an enclosure, because he posted a photo in another place showing such a thing when he devised a fan overrun connected to a shower circuit for his own house.
I'm not much good at I.T. at my age - but I have still a reasonable memory........

Ah, I think I may have misunderstood you. I thought you were referring to something that would allow SWA to be terminated onto a DIN rail. However, it would seem you're referring to an enclosure with integrated glanding plate and DIN rail, in which case I work with these in stainless steel more or less day-in-day-out anyway. Not to worry.
Yes - I could do those things, and I could probably find something knocking about that's already the right shape and only needed cutting to size and a few holes made. I just wondered if anything ready made was out there.
ColJack - I'm going to pretend I didn't see your suggestion of cable ties and an earth clamp...
I'm not struggling with the concept of an enclosure with a DIN rail in it.
And in the example you're thinking of what I showed was an enclosure with a DIN rail in it - nothing though which showed, or could be used for, glanding SWA inside the enclosure.
And in other photos of an enclosure I used, although there's no DIN rail in it, there could have been. There are also SWA cables glanded to the enclosure, but not inside it, which is what I was looking for.
So no - I have not previously used what I'm looking for, and need to be reminded of.
Apparently not.
I don't know if you think you're being quaint, with laments like that and your persistent claims that you have no idea what emoticons or smilies are for, but you aren't - you're being pathetic.
Good at IT? Knowing that if you highlight a block of text and hit CTRL-C you will copy it and then CTRL-V will paste it is not being good at IT, it's the IT equivalent of knowing how to tie your own shoelaces.
I am intrigued (and prob cant spell). Why do you want to know of such an enclosure?
