Pull Switch for bathroom- need bigger pattress

[Guitar_man]

Hi, I'm wiring a bathroom light and a fan isołator from a standard bathroom pull switch.
My problem is I can't find a deep enough circular patress to contain the wiring to the light and the extractor fan, ie the terminal blocks for neutral and earth.
Does anyone know when I can get a deeper circular patress or even a square bathroom pull switch so I can have enough room to wire up?
Thanks all,

Have you the supply cable with Live and Neutral at the switch?

Yes, no access to behind to do any wiring behind the scenes.

Most pull switches come with their own back box.

This one looks wider.

Have you room for one of these?
You would have to check the screw hole dimension.

Get a 47mm square patress and mount it to a noggin, then fix the noggin between joists above your switch.

Yes, I'm sorted now, CEF didn't have anything so I mounted another square patress and wired up behind a blanking plate.
As I said no ceiling access and no space so it had to be done on the ceiling, not ideal but at least it's sorted, cheers,
Btw, there was no wiring for the extractor so assumed grey was the switched live, brown live, and black neutral. Hmmm.

Brown is very likely to be Live but you cannot assume which will be the other two.

Ok, ELF I'll whip the front off of the ex before I power up. Cheers,

We don't want to know what you get up to with your ex....

Update, checked inside the box before i powered up the ex and the fan was indeed wired not using the colours as expected...
